Good stuff in this thread. I have been fooling around with short bows for over 12 years and have come to some conclusions for myself and shooters in general.
  A short bow is a short bow. Some work better than others for different shooters.
I also think that a short bow is just as capable of a 25-30 yrd kill as a 68" bow.(I know this for fact) I have watched Lukas and Kassi shoot a dozen arrows in a dozen seconds into a bale at nearly 40yds and you could cover most of them with a plate.They did this many times. I feel a short bow will let you know how solid your form is as well as your release. A short bow will always be more "user friendly" in a tight spot.BUT Short bows are not for everyone that is for sure. Lukas told me one day, when I was starting to make an excuse as to why I was missing the target,..."A good archer should beable to shoot any bow well." I am not saying anybody is a bad archer, but I think the point was that any well made,well designed bow can shoot(a good arrow). We should all shoot what we shoot the best.

I think the short bows shoot well for me. I know when I got my Lost Creek it took some getting used to how it shot. I intend on hunting turkey and deer as well as bear with it. I now shoot it 4-5 times a week usually 250-500 arrows per session. Shoots right where I want it to as long as I do my part. Definitely not as forgiving as the Morrison with F limbs but I would not expect that either.

A "well-designed" short bow in a blind will perform at a high level, if you can. Short bows have been around forever for a reason. They work, and I feel(I know it's an opinion) many of the new short bows perform better than their predecessors. I really like my 54" Addiction Recurve and I am prepared to shoot it at any ethical distance a turkey provides a chance at.

In response to "bowmania".  I must not have made my response clear.  I am referring to shooting a longer bow and adapt your blind to fit the bow you shoot best, which typically is a longer bow.  Not a big fan of shooting a short bow just so it fits a shorter blind.

I have killed turkeys out of a popup blind with both a Bear Black Panther and Bear Super Mag.  I'm going to try using a ghillie with my 58" Predator this spring but the Super Mag will be ready to go if needed.

54" RER Arroyo. Perfect for shooting out of my double bull blind.
