I agree with Jeff. I also think a touch and go should be second nature if you're at all concerned about getting your plane stopped in the available runway.

If you think you need a drag chute for the occasional "aw shit the runway is
too dang short" instances then IMHO your preflight planning is flawed. Like I
said before, take the distance you can get the aircraft stopped in (from a
50' height) and then double that and that is your landing distance
requirement. 50% of all GA accidnts are takeoff and landing accidents. Being too
optimistic on landing distance required is not a good thing.
