Look for a used Morrison here on the Tradgang classifieds. They pop up pretty frequently, usually for under 425.

Dan Toelke makes a 58" r/d called the Whip. Check Toelke in the product reviews section of this site.

Elberg makes a longbow down to 48" in a takedown version.
I shot a 54" @52# I believe and was one of the best bows I ever shot. No pinching just sweet flight. Well under $600 I believe.

Mike Treadway makes a short longbow. They are sweet. I think he is from North Carolina. I can get his number if you are interested.

Ian, go to the Classifieds and post what you are looking for under Traditional Bows. Make sure ya specify left hand and your draw length and weight. I'll bet ya get some responses. And hopefully some good offers as well.

Horne's Archery makes a great 58" Hybrid.Their Brushbow with your choice of basic riser woods and basic wood veeners with maple cores is 475.00 brand new.Check out the Faith and Hope thread they're 60" brushbows.These two donated bows went threw many different hands, arrows,  climates and a variety of game and they still are getting compliments from everyone that shoots them.I have one and have another on order. Just my 2 cents.

I second the Treadway.  I've got a sweet 56-incher and Mike makes them even shorter.

Neil Jacobson at Bear's Paw bows makes a very sweet 58" that is right around the $600.00 mark.  In fact that is the bow that I have been shooting for the last 2 years, it is a hard one to beat.  You can learn more at  www.bpbows.com
