Is there any short bow out there that doesn't stack at my 30" draw?

So, short risered bows with longer working limbs, static tip limb bows, horse bows would be a great grouping of bows to investigate.  I loved my Saluki, short and fast, but stringing it was at times scary. I had a 54" Windstorm that fit the short riser-longer working limb category that shot great and had no noticeable stack or finger pinch. Chuck Deshler's 50" Ambush has had great reviews from 30+ draw lengths as has the Hoots/Aneewakee bows. Good luck.

What's wrong with the old faithful Kodiak Mag if finger pinch isn't an issue? I see guys here and on other sites that shoot the mag at 30 inches.  Never been a smoother drawing bow than the bear recurves in MHO.

If a custom job is your hankering give Mike Mecredy of Maddog a holler.  I have a 60 and 65 longbow that I don't draw nearly that far, but I have several friends that own 58 and 60 inch ones that draw 30 and they love theirs.

Shot a Hoots last year at K-Zoo, and was very impresses by the bow. Very comfortable to shoot. I draw 29.5 inches. This year I have been hunting with a Grayling era Kodiak Magnum. It kind of bottoms out just a bit past my draw length, but I have grown use to the feel of it and have grown to like it a lot. It almost functions somewhat like a cllicker I think. I know when I feel that little bit extra tension, that I am truly at full draw.

I have a '64 Kodiak Magnum (52"). It is only 40 @ 28, so the following statement has nothing to do with a draw weight limitation on my part....

The limbs feel like they bottom-out at around 30". They don't feel like they can go much further without a risk of delamination. Like Chuck said, kind of like a draw stop of sorts.

Hey 2Fletch how does that Black Creek Banshee you beat me to at the Hill shoot last year draw to 30"? I know it did just fine @ 29"

I can build you a 56 inch Static tip Eaglewing top mount that will not stack at 30 inches./

I have a 56" shrew classic hunter that is my pride and joy....No finger pinch, or stack at my 29 1/2" draw. After hunting with it the past couple years, cant imagine hunting with anything longer now.

My "Tornado"will fit you.I also have a long draw (31") i built it to be stack free for me.

I have seen my Two Tracks Ambush 50" recurve drawn to 30 1/2" repeatedly (not by me, I draw 28" on the money) and it keeps on performing and performing.  An no, the string wont pull off like one guy asked.

I have a few short bows that stack. I draw around 30".  
The bow pulls back to a point that it just wants to stop. I look at it as ok if the bow still shoots even at this extreme point in the draw.  52 ", 58" and some 60" bows all stack for me. I own some really light weight bows and you can still have the issue.

Both the Kempf Raven and Kwyk Styk at 56" with Static limb tips will pull smooth to 30".

I've been pulling a 54" Shakespeare Super Necedah to 30 1/2" for forty years.  No stack, no negative results of any kind, if you ignore my accuracy!

Last year at Kazoo my friend was drawing a 54" Hoots recurve to 31" without any stacking or pinch. Very impresive bows with great looks and cast. On my list to own.
May your arrow always fly true and your hunt be an adventure.
