I'm looking for a longbow that is short enough to allow use out of a pop up blind. Any recommendations? I'm relatively new (4 years) to the longbow. The only two I have both measure at 64" so looking for something considerably shorter, but is fairly easy for a "newb" to shoot.
Thanks Ken

I had a Kohannah Fury that was 60" that was a smooth shooter for a relatively short longbow... I'm sure others will chime in with some even shorter that are smooth as well.

How big is the pop up? Like Sal said, a Shrew will shoot out of most any blind. I shoot my Classic Hunter out of one of those little doghouse blinds.

I needed a new blind this year and bought an amerstep harvester. No need for a shorter bow. It is 6'7" at the center. I shoot a 58"recurve and can shoot standing. I think it cost $169. just a thought however it is always nice to get a new bow.

fwiw, i found out the hard way that a 62" longbow was too long for a db blind ....

Lee Hoot's makes both a short longbow and recurve that are perfect for a groundblind!

Shrew Classic Hunters are among the best for a light, handy, short blind bow, but a relatively short Morrison, Hoots, Big Jim Thunderchild, or various other similar bows would work very well too.
