54 in. Thunderstick Ramhorn is as good a short bow as I have shot.Its so smooth on the draw.I had 1 and drew it 30 inches and it was very comfortable for a short bow.Had some pinch but other than that it was really nice.It would work at 28 as far as pinch goes pretty well.

I just checked on the Witchdoctor bow, and the wait is in fact 7 years and 1 day. There is a good chance that there will be a price increase, and the bowyer does require a 100% deposit.
I have a Cascade 52", can't shoot it as well as longer bows, but is nice short bow.

Here's my Shedua/Black Locust CM Raven 52"
Works well even with my 29+" Draw. Fun bow, but as has been pointed out, not super stable and may be more critical of release. Great treestand/brush bow though.

50 in. Browning Cobra 60@28, very quick little bow for its age and points very good for a very short bow, can shoot it as good as any of my curves out to 25 yds. Next is a 56 in. 66@28 Groves Mag I, very smooth and very quick, one of if not the best shooting recurves Ive shot out of a ton of customs.

I have been shooting my 52" 60# Texas Commanche a lot lately in preparation for hunting turkeys from a blind this Spring. I much prefer my longbows but I need this short bow in the blind. I am not as consistant with it as I am my longbows but I'm making headway. Matter of factly, I think it is helping me to improve my overall shooting because I really have to pay attention to my release and all aspects of good marksmanship. For me, at least, it magnifies any shooting errors.

I have a Fedora 52" Stalker plain jane model. It is the only shortie I have shot so I can't really compare it to others. I can tell you however that it is great to carry. It feels like I should slip it into my back pocket it is so short. Brace height is important on these shorties in my experience with this one.

Is that WitchDoctor wait in people years or dog years?
They sure look purty...
