Look up Mike Miller (aka Elk Ninja on here). He builds a pretty nice bow. I sure like mine.

Fox Archery makes a great bow called the Royal Crown. The Centaurs are pretty attractive in their lines too.

Might want to check out the Thunderstick Mag. 56-60". I've been told he will do a takedown if requested.

They both make t/d bows. The Centaur's are as short as 54". I don't know about the Fox bows. Ron's a good guy to talk with...give him a call.

What is your draw lenght and the bow length you are looking to get?  Do you want a 2 or 3 pc. TD?

I have several I like but my favorite TD Longbow is still a Pronghorn quick silent and fast.

Tough to beat and a tough bow.

My cents only. YMMV

If it were "compact" that were my focus, I would look for a Shrew, Kanati, Black Creek Banshee or Treadway Black Swamp.

IF I wanted the best R/D bow in the 62-64 range,  Toelke "Whip", by a long country mile.

Big Jim (sponsor) makes a two-piece RD longbow.  Big Jim's Buffalo Bows are mighty sweet!  Many fine compliments written in this forum about Jim and his bows.

Also, a slide show by Coaster500...

I second the Roy Hall Navajo Scout Bows. Great, quiet bows and smooth shooters.

Morrison Shawnee or Cheyenne are both 3 Piece bows.With an A size riser and A size longbow limbs you get a 54 inch bow.With B limbs you get a 56 inch bow.

I have no ideas on a bow that short and 3 pc. I am sure that Morrison would be nice.

If 2 pc. was an option I would say Shrew classic hunter all the way.  You could go 52 or 54 and people with longer draws could still shoot it.
