« on: February 11, 2017, 01:57:00 AM »
Looking at getting a short bow for the ground blind/treestands. Somewhere in the 54-56" range. What are some models u guys recommend.

Greg Coffey, Java Man bows Jason Kendall, Kanati bows, Ron LaClair's Shrew bows.  All are great shooting bows.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

One thing to consider is that a 58 inch static tip will effectively be about the same length as a shorter d/r bow.

Another good one which is very reasonably priced is Rich Emery's Stikbow.  I have one that is 54".
