Give me your thoughts on who makes the best short recurves. Thanks

Morrison Mini-14 ILF riser with "C" limbs = 56".

Shrew Lil Favorite = 54" or 56".

Both of these are GREAT bows!!! I'm sure there are other good ones out there too, but I am familiar with these two.

My pic is the Jack Kempf bows he makes a 52" Stealth which I have comming very soon Jacks 56" Stealth and Kwyk Styk draw oh so smooth and have real good speed and no hand shock!! and if you like long Bows Jack makes a Little Grizzly as short as 48" I have a 56" little Grizzly and it is a good short bow

Jim Belcher had built a couple of super short "stalking" recurves that shot really well. I just looked at his sight because I could not recall the name and did not see any. He might have one though. Its worth a try.

Two Tracks Ambush-50" and Black Mountain Sheep Eater Spirit 48".

Not saying they are the best, as I haven't shot many short bows to make that statement, but Cascade bows are excellent IMO, they seem to specialise in the shorter gear and take pride in that fact.

Cheers

Might be worth checking with Mike Mecredy @ Mad Dog Archery, a tradgang sponsor. He also makes a mid-size 51" recurve. He makes great bows and for a very reasonable price.

I'm fond of the vintage Ben Pearsons and Browning bows. just my 2 cents

Bear Kodiak magnum. 52". great bow.

They also make a 48" but I don't have any experience with that one.

Jesse Minish · « **Reply #15 on:** October 11, 2010, 10:54:00 PM »

The best one I have ever shot is by far Cascade!

52" Nighthawk Magnum by Cascade Archery

Smoothest draw you will ever pull ......

Hard to beat those old short Bears for shooters.

jhg · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2010, 11:39:00 PM »

Cascade is the one I have shot. Very nice.

Take a look at Lee Hoots bows "Lil Hoot" and / Anneewakee Archery "Addiction" They are great performing bows and Lee's work is second to none!
