Short Recurves
« on: February 09, 2010, 08:37:00 PM »
I have been thinking about getting a short recurve(54" or 56"), so if you have a pic of yours I would like to see them. Thanks

Here's some pictures of my Whisperstik Kajika recurve. It's 56" and smooth all the way to 30". There are pictures of the whole bow strung up on page 3.

The Addiction Recurves from John are super nice bows. I have had a chance to shoot alot of them.

I vote for the Kmag too.  If I didn't have so much fun shooting it, I would probably sell it......then again probably not.

I draw 30" and last month I drove down to JD's place to pic up my Kajika Stik. I shot a 52" prototype Mojo Stik. I'll tell you how it shot with my 30" draw. I gave JD a deposit on the spot, picked out the limb lam's and a block of wood the the riser. Myrtlewood limbs, Spalted Maple riser, 50@30. In the Turkey blind we will go  :)

I'll let you know how it shoots when I get it. If it's anything like the one I shot in JD's shop, WOW.

Check out the Cascade bows.  They really are super nice shooters!  I also like the Black Widow PSR's.  The Widow is my favorite bow.

How well a short bow will work for you depends a LOT on your draw length.  I have an old 52" Red Wing that is great at 28" but miserable to shoot at my 29" draw.

I have shot several different custom recurve and long bows, the Saluki Ibex is the smoothist I have ever shot. Mine is 58". No finger pinch at 29 1/2".
