Mike you know what you really want...
But if the patience is running thin than see if you can get your hands on a 56" Chekmate/Cascade.Very well mannered bow for a shorty.
All the best in your search.

I have had a ton of 56 inchers and as far as recurves go here is my top 3

1. Zipper SXT- The best recurve I have ever owned.

2 Cascade Whitetail hawk- a great bow and a even better price

3 Black Widow PCH- a good bow from a great company.

I found a 56" kwyk Styk and I am going to give that one a try.  

I did not expect this many options - thanks for input, I will start looking into these bows!!

If anybody has one in the 45-50# range and is interested in a longer bow as trade or willing to sell shoot me a PM.

Thanks
Mike

Neil Jacobson of Bears Paw bows makes great bows and recurves as short as 52" I believe the model is called Litespeed.

Congrats on your find Mike . I think you will be pleasantly surprise with the performance from the KwykStyk.

All the best.

I had a 56" Kota that was nice until I outgrew the draw.

I'm with Charlie.  Zipper sxt.   God bless.

13" ILF riser + medium  limbs

15" ILF riser + short limbs

Brands may be TT,Morrison,Dryad or Sky for the riser and for the limbs,you have a gazillion options

shrew makes a 56 and 54" recurve and  hoots makes a 56 one piece. Take down model I would go with a morrison all the way.

I have two 56" morrisons ilfs
1 HOOTS one piece
1 SHREW one piece on order.
ALL 56" RECURVES

Morrison ?? Never shot one of them either.  Specific model?

I believe there are quite a few bowyers making 56" t.d. recurves. Dan Toelke makes a couple of excellent ones, his Curlew and the superb little Lynx which can also accomodate longbow limbs.

Sixby ......  Send you a Pm!
