Nice shooting 54-56 inch bows for hunting in blind???
« on: May 31, 2010, 03:21:00 PM »
Besides the Shrew classic hunter and little favorite, what are some nice shooting bows in the 54-56 inch length. I have seen some pictures of the Hoots bows and they look really nice. Any feedback on some bows you own or have shot would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Dave and Tracey at St. Joe make a real nice short recurve. There were many with long draws who tried it out at K-zoo and loved it.    :thumbsup:    

 
 
 

 I like their 58 inch longbow, took a few deer with it last season. These fat doe were a couple of them.    ;)    
 
 

Right now I have a 60 inch but I tend to like a little longer bow. I've has days when a 54 incher would have been perfect.
Just one more step please!

I shot a 56 inch St. Joe River recurve at the PBS Banquest in Nashville earlier this year and ordered one before heading home.

Mark,
Look into the Lost Creek NAT longbow. Mine is 54" and shoots like a dream. I love it. Chad does great work and has the best customer service.

I would've mentioned Chuck's (Two Tracks) Ambush bow but I haven't shot it yet. They sure look great and at 50" long would work great in a blind.

I have really fallen in love with Big Jim's Thunder Child longbow. He makes both 54" and 56" thunder child.

I really like my Bob Lee 54" short riser takedown recurve.  Its stable and fast.

My 56" great northern ghost is nice and light, draws very smooth and is extremely quick at 60#, they just don't make them that short anymore, same goes for my 56" psr, just a little more mass weight.

I'll second Chads Lost Creeks, I haven't tried a NAT yet but my wifes and my 56 inchers are great shooters.

Some nice bows listed--I'll add Treadway Black Forest.  I've also heard great things about the Wild Horse Creek Kestrel, but have never shot one.

How about a Bob Lee Dark Archer? It was originally developed in conjunction with Double Bull Blinds, Inc.

Check it out.
