Title: short riser, short bows. looking for options
Post by: Caleb the bow breaker on September 04, 2010, 09:32:00 AM
I am starting to look for a new or new to me bow.  I really like the look of the Black Widow PSR.  And have been looking at RER and Black Mountain bows.  Does anyone have any suggestions other than those.  Also, the PSR looks to have a longbow handle.  Does it need to be gripped like a longbow or can it be shot with a high wrist like a recurve?

Look into a short recurve from St. Joe River Bows. This is their 54 inch bow and it also comes in 56 with the shorter riser. Very smooth out to 30 inches.    :thumbsup:    
They can build the grip pretty much any way you want.   ;)  The grip on this is a med grip between a high and low wrist. Comfy!

The PSR and PLX(longbow) Ive owned had the same grip, both shot fine for me with the low or high wrist grip.
