I use a 56-inch Bear takedown now for hunting out of a blind, though I did have a 60-inch Critter Gitter Special and a 60-inch Aspen Elite that also worked very well.  All other hunting I do with 64-inch ACSs and 66-inch Hills.  Sorry, I listed too many.

I've got two 58" MOAB's, and the longest bow I have is a 64" ACS-CX 3-piece.  Also have several others inbetween...

Centaur for short; Robertson or Great Northern for long.

66" ACS RC 50#, and I'll let you know what I think of the 62" 57# limbs I'll have next week for my Standard CX.

But to make answer your question, ACS for both long and short.

Short 64" Back Widow PLV,
Long, 64" Tomahawk Diamond Series Desert Fox.

Both are long enough to be "longbows" and short enough to hunt with.
I've shot a few, but a "short longbow" doesn't fit me.
If I need more room to shoot, I move, or trim limbs or vines,  (or use one of those new fangled recurves!)
I almost always hunt from the ground or a tree seat and 64" has never been "too long" to hunt with.
Just me, and I would love to shoot a short Shrew sometime!

Short - man that's tough, there's some really good ones out there.  I've had Shrews, JKTs, etc and my current favorite is my FireFly (don't really know if you can call a 58" longbow a shorty).  I let a Lost Creek slip through my fingers and still beat myself up over it...

Long - Again, I've had a bunch, but my all time fave is my RER (and a custom made bow I've been shooting the daylights out of).
