Looking for a couple of makers of a short take down recurve. I am looking for something in the 54 to 56 inch range. I do not want to go over 56 if at all possible. Here is the catch though, My draw is 28.5. Is there something out there that would accomadate this without horrible stacking and major finger pinch?

I would like a short bow for treestand and ground blind hunting.

The Hunter 56 by Checkmate is worthy of note. I took this catch of gar with one and I draw close to 30". Not all that bad to shoot at such a long draw... yours would be a piece of cake.

Check them out at recurves.com

hey thanks Charlie, I have a 60 inch falcon deluxe that is a pretty sweet shooter. Just not crazy about the grip. You have any close up pics of the handle I could see?

Great Plains makes a T/D recurve called the SR Swift that is designed for what you're looking for.....Mike

Jesse... couldn't find a picture that shows any better detail of the handle. I found it to be pretty comfortable, though.

Mike I checked them out looked good. Thanks !

Thanks again Charlie. I shot Chad an email to see if I could get some pics from him.

Anyone have any experience with Cascade Bows or Fedora's short takedown recurve?

I used a 52" Cascade Golden Hawk Magnum this past hunting season for ground hunting and loved it. It would be a great treestand bow as well.

They are not speed burners, but very stable for their length.

Look into the Kwyk Styk from Jack Kempf in Alberta.Mine was made 60@27,I shoot it a bit over 28, and can drew it smoothly to 30 inches.

Fast,super smooth,bomb proof(don't ask),and most importantly...an extremely easy bow to shoot!!!

I am shooting the new recurve limbs from Bob Morrison @ 54" long. I do have a short draw @ 26" but you will not find a finer piece of bow art in my book. Get Bob to build you a 56" bow and I am sure it would work for you just fine.

Bowhunter your link doesn't have a dot infront of net

TimberGhost by Kent Roberts is a great bet. Sackett draws his 54"er to 30". I have the 54 and 56 recurve limbs, and the new longbow limbs in 58". This thing is a real shooter.

I when I looked at short TD recurves, I decided on a Chek Mate Hunter 56. I ordered mine through G&M Archery, and should have it in a couple months. It will be Zebrawood & Walnut riser with Walnut limbs. I'm having this bow made with waterhole blind hunting out in the Badlands very much in mind.

Based on my satisfaction with my 58" Hunter II and 60" Hunter I, I expect it to be a great bow...

Shieldcut,

Check out Neil's take down Light Speed recurve at Bear's Paw Bows. bpbows.com

can anyone post a couple of pics of the Kwyk Stik? Do they have a website I could check out.

How long are the risers on all these different short takedown recurves?

Shawn Leonard · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2007, 07:58:00 PM »

I 3rd. the Kwyk Styk. I have 2 56"ers and they are both very smooth and I draw 28.5"s and I know Guru(Curt)draws 29"s with his with no pinch or stacking. I have the static tips on both of mine and they open up like butter. Shawn
