Need help finding a longbow for my 25"draw.
I would like to get a little more speed.
KANATI!!!
How tall are you?
Maddog prairie predator, I have one on order. Have heard nothing but great reviews and you simply cannot beat Mike's prices.
56" Thunderchild is what i shoot at my 24 7/8" draw
Oh yeah I stand tall at 5'-6"
Consider an ACS.
Kanati for my 26" draw
Forgot to say the 56"
Forgot to say the 56"
Is it possible that a static recurve could be tuned to a shorter draw and still be very efficient?
60" Tall Tines Stickflinger shoots great for my 25" draw! It is very smooth and fast for a 25" draw.
Kirk at Bigfoot Bows can build draw length specific limbs for his bows. I believe Steve at Eaglewing bows does as well. Both are sponsors here, and build amazing bows that perform with or out perform the best!

Take a look a this one. sort of pain looking but fast
Talk to Chad Francis about one of his Lost Creek Life Enders.
56" Thunderstick Mag.Fantastic bow.
56"Centaur. Another great bow.
Find yourself a 1959 or earlier 56" Kodiak designed to draw to 26" . There was also a 56" 1962 Polar designed to draw to 26" but rare above 35#. Do it in style.
I have a 25.5-26 inch draw.
Steve at northern mist really does a good job of tailoring the limbs for best efficiency at you draw length. We have had hour long discussions on the subject of bow limb efficiency at a given draw length.
When I got the bow he made for me it was very easy to see he knows what he is talking about.
My 57# 60" baraga shoots same hit location as my 63# 62" other bow. That's a 6# difference and same trajectory with a 700 grain arrow.
Lots of great bowyers out there. Lots of great options. For me Steve at northern mist is at the top of that list.
Just to add to my earlier post....58" prairie predator, 47#@27", brown glass, bocote riser, locator grip, overlays, with 2 custom strings, $290.00 (including delivery!) for a bow custom made for me. At least check out Mad dog archery.
A&H Archery; just give them your desired specs they will do the rest.
I find my Thunderchilds from Big Jim maximize my draw length at 27"

Maddog. Prairie Predator if you want a longbow, Machete if you want a recurve. No better bows designed for short draws in my opinion.
Thanks for your help. I have ordered a Kanati.
Kodiak magnum, or similar short recurve. I gotta ask, why such a short draw ?
Talk to Gregg Coffey at Javaman Archery about his new curve..."Eros"... Perfect bow for my 26" draw....super quick and really quiet with an awesome grip..!
Just seen where you ordered a Kanati...excellent choice...Jason builds an awesome bow...!!
Fastest three piece longbow I've shot is my Zipper Nitro. It has recurve like speed. Amazing performance from that bow. I also draw 25 1/2 - 26". If you want a 1 piece the Zipper Zipstick is fast also as well as a Centaur. Top of the heap bows in feel, manners and performance.
