It's already been said, but the Super Shrew Classic is an awesome bow.

What kind of "trouble" did you anticipate?

I did a couple reviews on short longbows/Flatbows.
 The kempf "Little Grizzly" and Quartermoon "Hornet" reviews are in my trad review pages at  www.peteward.com

These are 50 and 52" bows,and if you shoot from blinds or thick bush you will realy apreciate the short bows.

For the ultimate short bow, take a look at the 48" cherokee, or jaguar mites from Risin Son Archery. Adam Proctor is the bowyer who bought the business from Harry Elburg. I've had a few of Harry's bows and still have a 48" Jaguar Mite. It's one of my all time favorites.

Kota Prairie Fire is 58"-62".  My husband has a 60" and loves it.  I have a 50" Maddog longbow for my 22" draw.  I love it, all zebrawood.  It is silent and hard shooting.

I just bought a gently used Ancient Spirits Sequoia...it is 58" and 48#@28".  It isn't here yet but I have heard it is smooth with NO stack out past my draw length of 28".  I can let you know soon...HOPEFULLY!

I've got Scott s.'s old Cactus Cal Saguaro 56" and it is a real shooter.  Fast and very manuverable.  It's a real beauty to boot.

I shot a Foley bow 56" that was nice shooting and fast, just too short for me.

Ive had the opprttunity to shoot alot of bows when I was a bow dealer. IMO the best made longbow I have had in my hands is the Shrew Samarai. Top quality and perfect workmanship.

Didn't see anyone mention Elberg. Ya don't know what ya missing if ya haven't shot one. Tree stand, blind, still hunting or 3-D shoots. It does it all.
