I use a 56-inch Bear takedown now for hunting out of a blind, though I did have a 60-inch Critter Gitter Special and a 60-inch Aspen Elite that also worked very well. All other hunting I do with 64-inch ACSs and 66-inch Hills. Sorry, I listed too many.

66" ACS RC 50#, and I'll let you know what I think of the 62" 57# limbs I'll have next week for my Standard CX.

But to make answer your question, ACS for both long and short.

Short 64" Back Widow PLV,
Long, 64" Tomahawk Diamond Series Desert Fox.

Both are long enough to be "longbows" and short enough to hunt with.
I've shot a few, but a "short longbow" doesn't fit me.
If I need more room to shoot, I move, or trim limbs or vines, (or use one of those new fangled recurves!)
I almost always hunt from the ground or a tree seat and 64" has never been "too long" to hunt with.
Just me, and I would love to shoot a short Shrew sometime!

Post by: wihill on September 30, 2009, 08:36:00 PM

Short - man that's tough, there's some really good ones out there. I've had Shrews, JKTs, etc and my current favorite is my FireFly (don't really know if you can call a 58" longbow a shorty). I let a Lost Creek slip through my fingers and still beat myself up over it...

Long - Again, I've had a bunch, but my all time fave is my RER (and a custom made bow I've been shooting the daylights out of).

Post by: 30coupe on September 30, 2009, 09:20:00 PM

58" Kanati for the short.

62" Kota Prairie Nomad for the long...sorry, I'm too short for anything 64" or longer. I just can't safely push-pull string one any longer. If Tim made a 64" Nomad, that would still be my pick if I were a little taller and/or longer armed!

One pc. bows I gotta go with Shrew for the short one (60") and a Griffin for the long one (64"). In a takedown I'd go with a Firefly with a long and short set of limbs. Mike

Short bow is the Shrew hands down. Long would be a Northern Mist or a Robertson.

62" Rampart 3 piece.

I shot one today (a couple actually) and I have just gone over to the dark side. And just yesterday I thought I'd only ever want to shoot 66" longbows- finger pinch, smoothness and all that, but I'm a believer now.

Already have a short one - Osprey by Chad Holm. For a longer bow I would like either a HH Tembo or a Northern Mist Shelton.

Post by: **DONOTDELETE** on October 02, 2009, 09:40:00 AM

the 2 bows I really like where the Old Shrew I owned ( Past it on to give MoJo to someone else) and a Hill long bow I tried at a 3-D shoot. But I'm really happy with My 70"N2N red Oak self bow I made and a 63.5"N2N self bow PatB made (still need to get the right spine arrows for that one).

I absolutely love Toelke Whips. I'm currently shooting a 64" Classic Whip, and liking that grip more. Either the Classic or regular Whip grip will do, personal preference.

As far as short "long"bows, I have to go with the 62" Whip/Classic Whip. I have shot shorter bows, but they don't feel as good to me with a 29.5" draw...Mike

62" BW PL V
68" classic yew or bamboo lams longbow
if I was going under 62", I probably would shoot a 56" Shrew with bamboo lams

So many Choices....

56" take down Fedora xtreme(hybrid)-Fast and stable
66" JD Berry Renaissance-Super quite and accurate

For a 2 piece takedown, look at Wes Wallace Royal at 62" or the HSS carbon by Jack Harrison at 62".

The 60" Morrison Shawnee bows with the foam and carbon limbs are very nice as well
