I have a 50" Black Swan Sniper that shoots real well. The Black Mountain Sheepeaters are real fine short bows also.

Chad from Lost Creek Bows makes a short longbow for a reasonable price...
I have one of his 52-inchers that shoots like a charm.

I guess most custom bowyers short bows are really good shooters,but if you are in the budget try a Bear Kodiak Mag they are good shooter quiet and dependable,also the Super Magnum could be a good choice.If you are not satisfied,that I dubt,youcan always resell it for the same price.A 72-77 model cost you around 140-200$  the older run a little bit higher because are collectible but both type are a good investement a good hunting bows

My 54" TimberGhost is the most fun to shoot of any of my bows and is freakishly fast.

I have a 54" Browning Backpacker that will rival most any modern bow for speed and smoothness.  I've seen a few for sale this year. Never had the resources at the time or I'd have a closet full of them.

I have two Foley bows that shot great. They are considered long bows but are 56". They do have the reflex deflex  riser.

I've gotta 46" Stalker by Rodney Wright.  It's a fun bow to shoot, as long as your draw isn't over 28".  It's my "plinkin'" bow.

Sheepeater at 48" strung is as GOOD as they get. Smooth, fast, handy in tight spots, just an all around Top Shelf short bow.
