who makes a short recurve? 50 52 inch , a 1 peace or evevn a 3 peace

There's a good selection, try Cascade Archery,then Raven is the model, can't think of the make. Old Bear bows had the magnum and super magnum(48"), Kiko bows are very short and Rodney Wright archery.

Got a Check Mate (or Cascade, same thing) Raven ordered myself.

Check out Black Mountains Sheep Eater.  They are a sponsor here.  I have one and it's a great shooting bow.

Morrison's are realy nice so are the Shrew's.

My AMBUSH is a 50" one piece

Yep the Sheepeater by black mtn is a special little curve in that range.  A little longer is the Shaman and it's a 3 pc.

St. Joe recently made a little 54 inch recurve that got some really great feedback at K-zoo. This one is 58@28 but feels like much less. There were guys with 30 inch draws taking it for a spin and it shot excellent with no pinch.

 

 

 

 

Amen on the Sheepeater, I'm really happy with mine.

I have the first Sheepeater with the raised grip---lots of fun--a real treat to carry on long hikes---and in the thick stuff---it is superb.

Ahhhh, what goes around, comes around.  You may also opt to pick up a vintage Kodiak Magnum, or Browning Nomad Stalker, or a Pearson BPH-52..all three 52" bows,  or a Shakespeare Super Necedah at 54".  Not to mention the Shakespeare Cascade 50", or the Browning Cobra 50".  Lots of good old short bows that will perform very well.

Been checkin out the Sheepeater's . Sounds as you guys like,Well Denton's only 6 months away gives me time to put some cash on hold.

If you have a draw length of 28 inches or less
Rodney Wright's stalker 40 inch recurve or his 52 inch Bushbow flatbow both perform flawlessly.

Cascade's Golden Hawk Magnum is available in a 48 inch and a 52 inch length both three piece takedowns.  They also offer their Night Hawk in a 52 inch length three piece.  The Night Hawk has a phenolic riser.  I have two Golden Hawks in 52 inch length and they are as good as it gets.  None of the negatives of the old short bows such as the Bear Magnum or Super Magnum.

Now your talkin Arwin. I shot that very bow at the show and was very surprised. Smooth, speed, quiet, that little dude has it all!!

Ask Chad at Lost Creek bows how short he can build his new recurve.
