Chris, thanks for the offer but I'll be in Idaho hunting Turkey. I'll shoot you an email before the next local 3-D and maybe I'll get lucky and have you bring them because I would really like to shoot both of them.

Thanks, Dave

I draw 29.5 inches and have shot the St. Joe River 56 inch recurves with not problem what so ever!!  Smooth to draw and FAST!!  Another thing I like about them is they will make the bow how you like it with woods and all like most but they will custom the handle to your specs!! A grip just how you like it!! Great shooting little bows!!!

Up to 28", a used 52" Wing Red Wing Hunter is a great bow; but it does hit a major wall right at 28" and stacks like a deck of cards after that.

I was surprised at how smooth Bruin Bows were. I have a 31" draw, and was pulling some of there 56"ers. Doubt that at my draw length I'd own one. But, if your draw is shorter you might check them out.

Has anyone shot Don Dow's 52" recurve? If the 52" recurve is anything like his longbows, it would be an excellent choice for a short bow. His 60" longbow is a great bow and very inexpensive.

Was wanting a Kanati, but tripped over a little 56", 52@28, G&L Viper BAB that is going to have to do for a while. Maybe a long while. Can't say it's the best, but it shoots better than me.

I like my 52" Cascade Magnum. I draw 27" and it is very smooth. No finger pinch. Jim
