Hey all I am new to Trad Gang.

I am looking for a new short takedown recurve, some where in the 48" to 52" range, any sugestions!!

Cascade Archery has some.  They are a sponsor here.

Welcome to the Gang!

Fedora's Archery has them too............IJ

I second the idea for Cascade Archery's line of short bows.  Steve Gorr has perfected the market for 48-52" takedowns.

Welcome

Black Widow PCH is another one.

I recommend Cascade also. I have a Cascade Golden Hawk Mag with 52" and 48" limbs. Just got the 48" limbs recently from Blackhawk.
I draw 27" and the 52" limbs are great. No finger pinch. The 48" limbs have just a little bit of stacking just before full draw and a little finger pinch.
I have had a 52" Bear Kodiak Mag and a 48" Bear Super Mag. The Cascade in these lengths is far superior. The Cascade is also much quieter than the Bears.

Thanks guy's for all the info!!!!! Also thanks for the welcome!

My son got a 50" Ambush from Two Tracks and loves it. Said he wanted something short for Hog hunting next Spring down at Ray's.  Seems he had a hard time gettin' thru the Palmettos and underbrush with his 66"er. Anyway that bow is a great shooter!

Check out the Annewakee Addiction recurves. They are a sponser here.

I love my ambush.  After i got back from comptons I put another 100 arrows through it.  I had a lot of groups i had to pull two at a time because the arrows were touching.

I own a Cascade Golden Hawk 52' , love it, haven't had much experience with others as I tried one of these and thought it offered all I could ask.
So I bought one.

Cheers

Thanks for all the input. I am still trying to decide.....LOL....any more sugestions?

Saluki makes a Damascus in 52" and a Turk in a 48".  Hard to beat the lines and performance of Lukas' short bows.

I don't have a recurve that short but if I were to buy one it would (from the ads and testimonials) be a Cascade.  My shortest recurve is an "A" handle Bear TD Supreme with #1 limbs--56" bow -- 53" when strung. I tried it in my ground blind (Double Bull Dark Horse) yesterday and it works great.  I have a short draw of 26 inches. So, I get buy with a shorter bow than average or tall folks.  However, I've always been fearful of bows shorter than 56" because of stacking and finger pinch. But, I haven't drawn a 48-54" bow so I could be fearful without cause. Good luck.

No expierence with short TD's but welcome to the gang!  

If you can find a Texas recurve static tip, I had one 50" and 58#@28 that was a realy fun bow to shoot. They are hard to find and most people dont want to give up what they have, but you can find them

welcome to the family you will love it here so much ya wont want to leave
