For hunting. Is there one that is a stable shooter at shorter lengths. Ive heard good things on the cascade bows Nighthawk and Golden hawk in the magnum. Would prefer a 48 for manuverability but concerned in the give up of shootability. My draw is 27 3/4.
-
I had a Golden Hawk Mag.,wish I still had it,one of the best short recurves. My favorite short bow now is one that's 58"....lol!!!
-
Black Mountain Sheepeater
-
Rodney Wright--Stalker Recurve 46 inch.
-
I don't know Cascade bows but for the money the old Bear Kodiak Magnum is one heck of a bow:smooth,quiet and enough fast up to 20 yrs.Another my favorite is Rocky Mountain 50".It is so bad that they are no more made
-
Take a look at the TwoTracks ambush...... it is a 50" recurve that draws very smooth...... chuck makes a great bow...
-
Black Swan Sniper
Toelke Chinook
Saluki Turk
-
K-Mag shoots right with them all.
-
The Kodiak Magnum is a great bow for your draw length; I know because that is my draw length. Another good choice in the vintage line is the Browning Nomad Stalker 52", and the Pearson BPH-52.
The Cascade bows by Steve Gorr are hard to beat for short takedowns.
-
The Kodiak Mag. comes to mind first, they are fairly easy to find. I used to shoot a Texas Recurve Commanche 52", way-to-heavy-for-me-now @ 28" static tipped recurve. I shot it pretty well but they are hard to come by.
-
Jeffery Mighty Mag was the best 52" bow I have ever owned.
-
I'll second the Rodney Wright Stalker. Only 46" and shoots with the big boys. If you can't shoot it, you can't shoot. :archer:
-
Do they still make the bows Keako bows ? they had a 44 and and 38 that were sweet!!! I shot the 44mag with a 29 1/2 inch draw back when he was still alive.
-
K mags float my boat or sail my arrow.
-
I had a ben persons 50# 52" bow that shot great! I am shooting a 58" now but really want to get another 52" bow soon they are very nice.
-
Jack Kempf is offering his Kwyk Styk's in 52" now. Have not shot one but Jack has knowing but good things to say about it.
K-Mag is also a good shooter.
-
Bear Supermag 48" @ 50# A little pinch right at 28", but awesome out of a blind, in the stand, or stalking!
-
I beleive Lee Hoots is making a 52" H00TS recurve also now. sweet little bows but I opted for the 54".
-
I like the old Bear Super Mags.
-
I owned a Checkmate for a short time. Can't remember the model but it was a shooter and I shot it pretty good.
-
I have a Check Mate Raven on order. Heard good things.
-
I had a 52" Fedora Stalker that was real nice. Smooth. Fast. The arrow hit where I was wanting it to. It was about 4 pounds heavier than I was accustomed to at the time, so I swapped it. That is one trade that I now regret!
-
I like the old k mags and have 7 of them.
-
I've been hunting with a 52" ILF for the last 2 years. for a 26" draw, It is a perfect sniper bow. I'm shooting a 530 gr. arrow at 46# @ 26" in the mid 170's fps.
-
I had a 48" Rocky Mountain Recurve 57@26. I loved that bow. I had to sell it because it was too heavy for me after I hurt my shoulder.
-
I have a 52" Cascade Nighthawk Magnum that is very smooth. Very good stand or blind bow. Just had it dipped in Predator Brown Deception.
-
If you have the time look around for a Shawn Petersen "Redtail" , I have one that's either 52 or 54" and is a fantastic short bow .

james parker bamboo nomad is my go to bow.
-
I have a Bear Supermag 48" 45# that's sweet handling in tight spots. Also like my Pearson Predator 50# also at 48" or 50", can't remember the exact length. Both alder bows frm the 70's.
-
I really like my Chek-Mate Cascade (62#@28" AMO 52"). It is very smooth and no finger pinch. Plus it hits hard and is more accurate than I am.
-
You can find a few short RC reviews on my trad review pages at www.peteward.com (http://www.peteward.com)
Rodney Wright 46" stalker, Dan Toelke 's 52" RC, come to mind as well as the Sheepeater Spirit.
There are some short longbows there too.

no one has a little suckling??

Another one here for the Cascade Golden Hawk magnum. 52# 60#@29, it's capable of a lot more than me, love it that much , I have a picture of it in my wallet :biglaugh:
Cheers

I have to go with my old Bear k-mag
-
For a short bow its hard to beat a K Mag
-
48" Cascade Golden Hawk Mag
-
I have both the kt 44 and the Cascade 52" Night Hawk. I would go with the 52" bow as it shoots faster and smoother than the 44" bow. But the KT44 is fun to shoot. The Cascade with the phenolic riser is a very stable bow to shoot. Thank's granpa.

Rodney wright stalker recurve 46" .... .just my two cents
