1)cascade
2)black mountain
3)shrew ..nice but dont think i can wait that long
what are you guys that have a 28"-29" draw are shooting a 52-56" recurve

[chopx2]

Try Dan Toelke at montana bows.

I have a 29"draw and a 52" recurve of his that I use for blind and thick woods bird hunting

[**DONOTDELETE**]

A Super Shrew Li'l Favorite would be my choice.

Chuck at Two Tracks makes a 50" Ambush bow. I have one and it's an awesome little bow. I draw 26", but I know guys are drawing them at, and over 28" with no problem. She is smooth, quiet, and really packs a punch.

Check out Treadway bows.

If your draw is 28", not 29", try a Rodney Wright Stalker.  It's 46" long and is fine out to 28".  Then it hits a wall    .  No stackin'.

I've got one 62# @ 28".  My draw is 28" with no problem.  I've had this bow for about 5 years now.  Don't plan on ever gettin' rid of it.  Fun bow to shoot.  Good luck.

Dave Beeler's hybrid bows. 56"

[sj_lutz]

I've got a 56 inch Widow PSR that's just a joy to shoot; nice and smooth to my 28 1/2 inch draw.

[StJoePTP]

St joes River bows makes a sweet shooting 56" recurve. Very sweet shooting bows.

here is a pic of my anneewakee addiction recurve 56" amo 52#@28 . john dill is a sponsor here . a great guy to do business with. give him a call he can answer any questions you might have. good luck in your quest. oh befor i forget did i mention this bow pulls as smoothas butter. doesnt even feel like 52# and flings a carbon arrow with authority.

Can't recommend one without trying first but in a year or so I'll be looking for a Sheepeater at a bargain.Let us know what you find and how you like it.I've been in a bind in my tree stand on a few hunts where a short bow may have helped.

I am glad to see this!! I have a used Beeler heading my way!!!

My Black Mountain Sheepeater is my favorite!
I draw a true 29" and with this 50" bow there is no stacking or finger pinch. Definetly worth checking out.

Keeping the Faith!

Check out RER bows (a sponser here).  He makes static recurves which work well with short bows.

If you can't afford a custom bow, check out some of the old Bear Grizzly or Kodiak magnums. Short, quick, quiet, and my Grizzly is about 56" when strung and I'm about a 27" draw. It's made for a 28" draw and I can pull it back at least that far with no problems, but I'm just more comfortable somewhere between 26" and 27". I shoot 2 under so I probably don't notice any finger pinch like some who shoot 1 over 2 under would.
I believe the Kodiak magnum is even shorter tip to tip and was considered a "Bush Bow" by some of the older generations. I wish I had one.

Timberhawk makes a great short bow and only costs about $550 new.

[RonD]

Dave Beeler makes a short recurve and not as costly as some others. I'm not a recurve shooter so I can't say how well it shoots, but owning one of Dave's longbows makes me think that his recurve will shoot just as good.

Jack Kempf kwyk styks, short as 52"...Smoooth!
