My short bow list includes a 56" Widow PSAX, 54" Morrison Cheyenne Longbow, and a 52" Morrison ILF recurve.  All of these bows are amazing shooters.

I have had a K-mag for many years and also had a Super mag until recently. About a year and half ago I bought a new Cascade Golden Hawk Mag, 52", 48 @ 27". It is without a dought the best short bow I have owned. No finger pinch !! Also quiter than the K-mag and Super Mag. Jim

The 52" Cascade is a great short bow.  Love mine.  Look at the Nighthawk option.

I just recently bought a Browning Nomad Stalker 52". Shot it a dozen times and like it better than my Martin Hunter 62".

I really love my BOB LEE HUNTER. It is a take down recurve with the short riser and 54 inch limbs. Overall, 56" AMO. Quiet, durable, and consistent. It outshoots me too. Sorry, no pics, but after being so happy with mine, I thought you should know.

I havent jumped into this picture hosting thing yet,But I picked up a scratched up old Bear super kodiak magnum 48" 60# for 69dollars a couple years ago-Almost dislocated my shoulder getting my wallet out of my pocket.The guy said it would be worth more if it wasnt scrached up,But it just made crawling through the brush with it easier.   :jumper:

Not too many around, but the newer Bear T/D can be had in a relatively short  bow.  I've been impressed with the stability and shootability  of the 56-inch, A- riser bow I picked up recently.  Not the fastest bow around, but fast enough to get the job done.

I have a 50#-52" REd Wing Hunter which is my go to hunting bow. It shoots and draws like a much longer bow, in fact, I can't tell the difference from my 58 or 60 inch Red wing hunters. Those short limbs are fast and I think the 52 inch shoots flatter and faster than the longer bows. Perfect for getting thru brush and up in stands, etc. If I can find a pic I'll post it.

If ya want a good short bow don't forget Rodney Wright's 46" Stalker.  It's a great little bow, as long as your draw length isn't over 28".

I have several reviews on short recurves on my site,  www.peteward.com
 Rodney Wrights 46" stalker,
 Dan Toelke 52" RC
 Black Mountain 50" Sheepeater
 Kack Kempf 56" kwyk Styk
 There are a few short longbow reviews there too.

 Talk to the bowyer and make sure his short bow is good for your draw length.

We have the 48" take down and i am starting to draw plans up for a 47" recurve that draws to 28/29" based on the kids bow i built for joekeith's granddaughter.

LOVE short bows! never thought i would say that, but the things are just plain addictive.
