Tell Me about your short recurves

[sar]

My next bow(Won't be til the end of the year if my wife has her way...) will be a recurve under 52".  Even shorter if possible.

I like the looks of the wright and the little sucklings.  

Those of you who have short 'curves, which do you have? how do they shoot?  Do you have any numbers?

Of course, pictures are always great!

Define short.

I have 2 Cascade Golden Hawk Magnums both 52" both had their grips modded to fit my small hands by Voodoofire1.  I took a turkey from the ground with the gray one.  They are not fast, but I hit where I look with them.

I just got a 52" Toelke Recurve. It is super smooth, quick and extremely quiet. I will post some pictures soon as it is a beautiful bow.

Mine is a 52" Saluki Scythian , the bowyer Lukas Novotny  makes this bow as short as 48".

[robtattoo]

Wooo pretty! I love the looks of that Saluki.


One day Rob, one day  :D

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Are those Salukis all wood bows or do they have glass limbs?

[Tony Phillips]

They are glass bows.

I have 3 old kodiak mags at 52" (45#,50# 50# )that I use for target shooting but plan on using them as blind bows in the near future.

wright has the stalker at i think 46in and the buffalo hunter at 48in im looking at getting one of his 54in firehawk longbows

I like a short bow but for me anything under 54"s is too critical of release. I myself anyway need to get a perfect release with a real short bow. I have a good release but not good enough, I think most short bows are tough to shoot due to this fact. Shawn

You should get in touch with Mark Baker. Those Sheepeater bows he and Brent are making are something else. I was around during the development of that bow and was impressed with how well they handle my draw length. You would sware its a kids bow till you see how it flings an arrow. Just look under the sponsors for Classic Bowhunting Co. They're great guys too.

Dan Toelke makes take-down curves from 52" up to 66", I think. I have a 56" t-d curve, walnut handle and juniper limbs.

[Voodoofire1]

I've got a 56" Dynasty Timber wolf that's real sweet, all Zebrawood and doesn't stack at my 30" draw................................Steve

[Pasty Face]

I have a 48in bear mag, not the best shooter. I draw over 28 and it just cant handle it. Sounds like a 22 going off when I shoot it.

I am sold on my Bear Cheyenne....shoots great for me, but I wish the glass was clear and had some nice wood under there....and less medalions and inserts....but as far as shooting, she's the best for me.
