I second the idea for Cascade Archery's line of short bows.  Steve Gorr has perfected the market for 48-52" takedowns.

I recommend Cascade also. I have a Cascade Golden Hawk Mag with 52" and 48" limbs. Just got the 48" limbs recently from Blackhawk.
 I draw 27" and the 52" limbs are great. No finger pinch. The 48" limbs have just a little bit of stacking just before full draw and a little finger pinch.
 I have had a 52" Bear Kodiak Mag and a 48" Bear Super Mag. The Cascade in these lengths is far superior. The Cascade is also much quieter than the Bears.

My son got a 50" Ambush from Two Tracks and loves it. Said he wanted something short for Hog hunting next Spring down at Ray's.  Seems he had a hard time gettin' thru the Palmettos and underbrush with his 66"er. Anyway that bow is a great shooter!

I love my ambush.  After i got back from comptons I put another 100 arrows through it.  I had a lot of groups i had to pull two at a time because the arrows were touching.

I own a Cascade Golden Hawk 52' , love it, haven't had much experience with others as I tried one of these and thought it offered all I could ask.
So I bought one.

Cheers

Saluki makes a Damascus in 52" and a Turk in a 48".  Hard to beat the lines and performance of Lukas' short bows.

I don't have a recurve that short but if I were to buy one it would (from the ads and testimonials) be a Cascade.  My shortest recurve is an "A" handle Bear TD Supreme with #1 limbs--56" bow -- 53" when strung. I tried it in my ground blind (Double Bull Dark Horse) yesterday and it works great.  I have a short draw of 26 inches. So, I get buy with a shorter bow than average or tall folks.  However, I've always been fearful of bows shorter than 56" because of stacking and finger pinch. But, I haven't drawn a 48-54" bow so I could be fearful without cause. Good luck.

If you can find a Texas recurve static tip, I had one 50" and 58#@28 that was a realy fun bow to shoot. They are hard to find and most people dont want to give up what they have, but you can find them
