I had a 52" Fedora Stalker that was real nice.  Smooth.  Fast.  The arrow hit where I was wanting it to.  It was about 4 pounds heavier than I was accustomed to at the time, so I swapped it.  That is one trade that I now regret!

I've been hunting with a 52" ILF for the last 2 years. for a 26" draw, It is a perfect sniper bow. I'm shooting a 530 gr. arrow at 46# @ 26" in the mid 170's fps.

I had a 48" Rocky Mountain Recurve 57@26.  I loved that bow. I had to sell it because it was too heavy for me after I hurt my shoulder.

I have a 52" Cascade Nighthawk Magnum that is very smooth. Very good stand or blind bow. Just had it dipped in Predator Brown Deception.

If you have the time look around for a Shawn Petersen "Redtail" , I have one that's either 52 or 54" and is a fantastic short bow .

I have a Bear Supermag 48" 45# that's sweet handling in tight spots.  Also like my Pearson Predator 50# also at 48" or 50", can't remember the exact length.  Both alder bows frm the 70's.

I really like my Chek-Mate Cascade (62#@28" AMO 52"). It is very smooth and no finger pinch. Plus it hits hard and is more accurate than I am.

You can find a few short RC reviews on my trad review pages at  www.peteward.com
Rodney Wright 46" stalker, Dan Toelke 's 52" RC, come to mind as well as the Sheepeater Spirit.
 There are some short longbows there too.

I have both the kt 44 and the Cascade 52" Night Hawk. I  would go with the 52"  bow as it shoots faster and smoother than the 44" bow. But the KT44 is fun to shoot. The Cascade with the phenolic riser is a very stable bow to shoot. Thank's granpa.
