I was interested in any feedback on the shorter longbows out there. I am shooting a 62" but would like to try a shorter one for stand hunting.
thanks
i have a 52" martin rebel 45#@28 and its a good stand hunting bow. i can shoot it sitting down without worring about the limbs hitting anything. whats your draw length?
Shrew, Dryad, and Morrison make short longbows that shoot great and have excellent customer service.
There are a lot of short longbows out there and most are excellent shooters. You will get lots of suggestions and advice but I would say start checking websites and making calls.
Draw length will be a factor with some of the bows but if you are like me and have a short draw length you can shoot any of them.
Also forgot to mention RER bows which also make a great short one piece LB and a little longer 3 piece.
If you are in no hurry I would try and make it to one of the big shoots and try as many out as you can or check and see if they have loaner bows.

Thanks. I am a 28" draw. I had seen the shrews but did not realize Morrison made a short longbow. I will check them out too.
thanks
