58" Kanati for the short.

62" Kota Prairie Nomad for the long...sorry, I'm too short for anything 64" or longer. I just can't safely push-pull string one any longer. If Tim made a 64" Nomad, that would still be my pick if I were a little taller and/or longer armed!

One pc. bows I gotta go with Shrew for the short one (60") and a Griffin for the long one (64"). In a takedown I'd go with a Firefly with a long and short set of limbs. Mike

Short bow is the Shrew hands down. Long would be a Northern Mist or a Robertson.

I haven't found a longbow under 62" that I could shoot comfortably.  For a longbow my pick is a Mohawk.  :thumbsup:

62" Rampart 3 piece.

 I shot one today (a couple actually) and I have just gone over to the dark side. And just yesterday I thought I'd only ever want to shoot 66" longbows- finger pinch, smoothness and all that, but I'm a believer now.

Already have a short one - Osprey by Chad Holm.  For a longer bow I would like either a HH Tembo or a Northern Mist Shelton.

the 2 bows I really like where the Old Shrew I owned ( Past it on to give MoJo to someone else) and a Hill long bow I tried at a 3-D shoot. But I'm really happy with My 70"N2N red Oak self bow I made and a 63.5"N2N self bow PatB made (still need to get the right spine arrows for that one).

I absolutely love Toelke Whips.  I'm currently shooting a 64" Classic Whip, and liking that grip more.  Either the Classic or regular Whip grip will do, personal preference.

As far as short "long"bows, I have to go with the 62" Whip/Classic Whip.  I have shot shorter bows, but they don't feel as good to me with a 29.5" draw...Mike

62" BW PL V
68" classic yew or bamboo lams longbow
if I was going under 62", I probably would shoot a 56" Shrew with bamboo lams
