Javaman Elkheart vs Elkheart Magnum

[CodeMan88]

I currently shoot a 66" Omega Imperial and am interested in getting a shorter bow. I considering either a 56" Elkheart or a 52" magnum.

Please feel free to comment your opinions or experiences with either.

I own some classic 56” Elkhearts but I am really interested about the Magnum so I will follow this thread.

I have a 56" Elkheart and love it. It was my first short bow and soon after I bought a 54" Pika. Love it too. I now have a 52" Elkheart Magnum on order, due sometime in September. Needless to say, I'm hooked on short bows. I still have more traditional length longbows, 62", 64" & 66", but these short bows are so nimble and shoot so well. If you have even the slightest intrest in these amazing little bows, do yourself a favor and get one, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

I’ve owned an Elkheart . Gregg makes a great bow, but that one was too light for me. A shame because it was a top of the line with carbon.

The one I should have kept was a Shrew Classic Hunter. 56” and 51#@28”. Carbon as well, made by Gregg Coffee. I personally really like the 56” length.  I currently shoot another bow that is 47# but i have another set of 52# limbs for it. That one is 58” so I guess I like that range. 56 or 58 inches.
