From perusing past posts it seems that static tips provide some clear advantages, particularly for longer draws.
Are there any specific disadvantages?
Do they provide shorter draws(@27") the same positives as longer draws?
-
They do if the bow is designed for shorter draws.
Check out the Orion recurve on our site. It is a static recurve that can now be ordered at 56". That would be perfect for your shorter draw.

For shorter draw lengths, you can go to a shorter bow (for use in a blind). I also have 27" draw and have a Sovereign Ballistick 52" and it is great. No finger pinch and a smooth draw.

I've had a couple of RER static tips and they were great with no disadvantage that I could find. Currently shooting Mike's Orion and it is outstanding in every way. Do yourself and check out the Dryad site. The performance, price, and customer service are exceptional.

Those Dryad bows are nice! I like the looks of the Sovereign too.
Do the tips make it hard to string up? It looks like that could be a pain. I love the looks of those though.
If only I wasn't trying to buy backpacking gear too. . .!

None !

If the bow isn't well designed the tips can be too heavy leading to handshock and a loss in performance.
-
With a proper bowstringer(like the limbsaver with the rubber block for the upper limb), stringing and unstringing is not a issue.

You may check into the hornes archery bows... Mark's recurve limb design are very static in nature... They are awesome bows...

Yeah I have always liked the look of the Horne bows. I just bought a 55# Bear Grizzly as an "upgrade" for my 47# Grizzly. After I get used to the extra weight and save up some money I definitely think I will look into a static tip bow.
