short recurve

[Westy]

I'll toss out another vote for the Black Mountain Sheepeater. I've had mine for several months now. Shoots smooth, quiet and accurate...can't ask for much more!

[Brent Rudolph]

I would be honored to offer you a Sheepeater. There are some good bows from great bowyers mentioned here too. Elf brought up Rodney Wright. He does make a good shooter. Nice guy too. George brought up an interesting point too. Pop always told me to hang on to my ties. Sooner or later, they all came back in style. Only problem being............I don't wear ties. But those little bows of not so long ago were special. Still shoot good. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks to all my Sheepshooter out there. Hope you're all well.

You can't go wrong with any one of the above bows,they are excellent bowyer,but as George has sayed old bows are good as well,I love my Kodiak Magnum.

I have heard nothing but good of these bows:

i am looking at all of the sugestions,haveing a ball  

[snufer]

Siegeworks out of Texas is building a 48" recurve.

[crotch horn]

Lost Creek bows are great and Chad will treat you right. Great bow and a great guy.

[Jesse Minish]

48" or 52" Cascade Night Hawk. By far the best short bow out there.

[LongStick64]

I picked up a Black Swan Sniper, I'll put that bow up against any bow listed here. This is one Kick Butt Bow.

I love my 48" Cascades and FYI CheckMate does not sell a 48" or 52" TD recurve

Must say that the Sheepeater I have palyed with a bit it is my brothers sure is a fine shooter. I draw to 30+ no complaints from the bow. I do believe it loads a bit at the back of the 30" draw but I thnk that is a good thing (helps with my release). I sure do shoot it well.

Timberhawk Strike XT 54 in., SMOOTH, SMOOTH SMOOTH- shoots like a 60-62 in. bow, my buddy has a 31.5 in. draw and he said it was still smooth at his draw and no appreciable finger pinch....its also very fast and quiet..hands down my favorite short bow besides my 56 in. Fedora..

Another vote for Black Mountain "Sheep Eater" you can track the wonderful reviews on the Sheep Eater World Tour.

[BWD]

Another vote for G&L.

[Bowshot]

Jack Kempf makes his Kwik Styk in 52", shoots well, would be awesome in a blind. Shot one last week, has me thinking hard as it isn't much different than the longer ones that I have.

The Sheep Eaters are pretty neat as well.

BOB LEE dark archer is 54" and here its a good one

[harvestmoon]

If you want the shortest recurve out there, have a long look at Rodney Wright's 1 piece Stawker Recurve.  Smooth, pretty, and really shoots where you look.
My new bow should be ready in 2-3 weeks...will gladly send pics.

Can't wait...it feels like its married to your hand.

[Bob Morrison]

We have a 52" in our ILF. 26" Maximum Draw. Don't know if that will work for you or not????
It does for me    Took my 1st turkey with one.

Addiction Recurve at 54" shot real well for me at K-Zoo. I draw @29' now and had no problems with it at all. John Dill of Anneewakee Archery sells them.
