Short Bow Recommendations and 1st Trad kill

[Shane H]

Personally I would stick with what you have, day in and day out longer bows are more comfortable to shoot, just an opinion from the other side. There is a reason Olympic archers shoot longer bows.

I draw 29 and hunted with a 56 inch bow for about 5 years.  I won't go short again.  My 60 inch is a nice comprimise.  You just get too much string angle cranking back short bows and then your release needs to be great to compensate.  If you torque the string at all or have a penchant to youll find them finicky.  I might consider 58 with a short riser ilf but be leary of all the hype.  Just think of bow limbs as levers the shorter the limb the less force it takes to bring things out of balance.

I've got close to a 30" draw and love the 56" Big Jim Thunderchild...

I can't argue with any of the other bows listed, but the Thunderchild is my choice...  Well, I do have a 56" Kwyk Styk also... 2 sets of limbs for it...  it's pretty easy to get along with also...

Make a call to Mike and see what limbs he can offer you for your riser.  His static limbs are awesome.

Or
When hunting with a 62 or longer bow, I don't sit low.  Just have a small seat to prop my but on.  Almost stand.  60 or shorter bows no problem with my style of shooting.

You have to shoot a bow that you are comfortable with canting the bow more. If you have a 29" release, you may like a bow with a foward handle like a shorter Black Widow. I am 5'9" with a 26 plus draw and I have no trouble shooting a 68" longbow out of a climber tree stand.  As far as shooting from blinds, they should not have roofs on them anyway, try a ghillie suit.
