Have really been considering a short Longbow and one that I am considering is a short Leon Stewart Lil Slamer. Anyone own one and give give a quick review.
Tukudu wrote a nice review on a 56" slammer a few years back. Check the archives or maybe look at Leons site it may be there.
I have been waiting for Leon to finish mine. He should literally be shipping it anytime now. Will be 56" and around 52@29. Wenge riser, carpathian elm limbs, horn tips and some other goodies. Stay tuned for one of my in depth reviews and like 30 high quality pics. :) :) :)
I picked one up off the blanket sales last year @ Denton...56" 42#@28. I really like it. I also have a short 27" draw due to arthritis in my clavicle.
Great hunting bow. Smooth, stable, easy to shoot.
Mine is a plain-Jane workhorse, with brown glass and Goncalvo Alves riser. One of my favorite hybrids.

Leon is a great guy to deal with & his work is excellent. I have a slammer and enjoy it very much, however I do not shoot it well and I would order one that has more mass weight. You should talk to Leon and he will work with you.
I actually have a 66" slammer on order right now but would really like to add a short bow on the rack for hunting out of a blind. Leon is supposed to have a few of his 56"ers at Denton Hill that I hope so shoot.
I have a lil slammer 56"45#@27" been shooting it for a couple years it works for me also have 60" and 64" slammers Leon makes a great bow you wont be disappointed
