As stated, there are a lot of makers of decent short bows.
LaClairs Shrew, the Kanati, Big Jim Thunderchild, Toelke recurve, Saluki, Widows, Dryads and Black Mountains Sheepeater to name a few.
One bowyer however, often gets forgotten.
They are called "Border Bows" and operate out of Scotland.

I really enjoy making and shooting short bows. I think they are quite a bit of fun to shoot and challenging to make as well. That being said, the shortest bow I hunt with is a 60" longbow for all of the aforementioned reasons.
Here is my replica of a Herter's Perfection 46" at a 28" draw.

The only reason i would order a really short bow is if i hunted out of a blind, i have a 30in draw and just dont like a short bow.

I shoot a 52" Cascade that I really like, very smooth and no stacking. I am new to traditional, though. My draw length is 27". My friend, who has been hunting traditional for close to 20 years and has a 30" draw shot several of the Cascades at Steve's house and saw no stacking and is saving up to buy one because of how much he likes the bows. Cascade has bows from 56" to 48".
