Who out there shoot short bows and which one do you recomend?

vermonster13

I have a 50" Black Swan Sniper that shoots real well. The Black Mountain Sheepeaters are real fine short bows also.

Chad from Lost Creek Bows makes a short longbow for a reasonable price...
I have one of his 52-inchers that shoots like a charm.

'TGMM FAMILY of THE BOW"at 211 degrees water is hot.at 212 it boils and cause's steam,which can run a locomotive.is it worth that one extra ounce of effort to finish first,the difference between good and great?

Bear Super Mag 48 not bad if your draw is 28 and  under.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

I guess most custom bowyers short bows are really good shooters,but if you are in the budget try a Bear Kodiak Mag they are good shooter quiet and dependable,also the Super Magnum could be a good choice.If you are not satisfied,that I dubt,youcan always resell it for the same price.A 72-77 model cost you around 140-200$  the older run a little bit higher because are collectible but both type are a good investement a good hunting bows

Shakespeare Super Necedah,  York Thunderbolt, Wing AMF Thunderbird.  Other old 52",  Wing Thunderbird, Wing Red Wing Hunter, Browning Nomad Stalker, Shakespeare Sierra,  Indian Archery Magnum,  Pearson BPH 52, etc.    Lots of shopping you can do in the vintage line as well as newer models.

I have two Ben Pearson bows both @ 52" and I love them!! Great shooters both are 51# @ 28" and shoot 510grn arrows at 170 fps range. fast and quiet.

My 54" TimberGhost is the most fun to shoot of any of my bows and is freakishly fast.

I have a 54" Browning Backpacker that will rival most any modern bow for speed and smoothness.  I've seen a few for sale this year. Never had the resources at the time or I'd have a closet full of them.

I have two Foley bows that shot great. They are considered long bows but are 56". They do have the reflex deflex  riser.

joekeith

I've gotta 46" Stalker by Rodney Wright.  It's a fun bow to shoot, as long as your draw isn't over 28".  It's my "plinkin'" bow.

 

Steel

My go to bow right now is a Morrison Cheyenne 54" Recurve carbon/foam core limbs. Its super quiet,super fast,and most important I can hit what I aim at with it! I have a new 54" Morrison ILF longbow arriveing this week also  :) .

Sheepeater at 48" strung is as GOOD as they get. Smooth, fast, handy in tight spots, just an all around Top Shelf short bow.
