Turkey Creek makes an excellent one...don't know about that length.  Centaur has one also and there are several more that i'm sure some other guys & gals can chime in with some suggestions.

Kevin,
Try  www.centaurarchery.com. (http://www.centaurarchery.com.)  Jim Neeves (sp?) is the owner/bowyer & so far i have kept my bowdiction at bay from one of those.  Killdeer has an excellent post about one on here.  i've never held one in my hand & that's probably the only reason i haven't ordered one yet.

Jim Neaves is the proper spelling of his name.

ChekMate Crusader?  Recurves.com (aka LBR / Chad Weaver) might be able to fill you in - he is a sponsor here.

How about a Shrew?

Also try Thunderhorn... some of the nicest longbow hybrids out there!  Unique t/d system on his two pieces as well.... you really have to look to see it is a t/d at all.

There's also the CariBow. I have a one piece and love it, but they have two piece available.

I'll third Mike Treadway. Great guy and he makes a beautiful, well built, great shooting bow of any configuration...except maybe a recurve...but he has at least one of those. Mike has also come up with 2 or 3 different types of take down systems.   Pat

Thanks for all the suggestions...
Limiting this search to 58" kind of cuts out some of the choices....but there's still a lot of options out there...

Just to add to the mix, I've heard from Jim Reynolds at Thunderstick, he'll do a Mag with a takedown system...

Thanks again for all the ideas...

Jack Kempf makes a great shooting two piece lb with r/d limbs.  Little Grizzly is what it is called and he makes it in a 2 piece.  Solid bow, great performer, and beautiful.  The guy I hunt with uses that bow in 58" but he makes them as short as 50" I believe.

I'll vote for Mr. Mike Treadway also.  I've shot several of his bows that my friends have owned and there are solid bows.  I met him at ATAR last year, he is a genuine great man to talk to.
