who makes a short longbow?

[Ian johnson]

I am currently looking for a longbow around 58in.,that wont cost over $600, any ideas, i like the compactness of a recurve, but i tend to shoot better with longbows

[Abel]

Look for a used Morrison here on the Tradgang classifieds. They pop up pretty frequently, usually for under 425.

Dan Toelke makes a 58" r/d called the Whip. Check Toelke in the product reviews section of this site.

forgot to mention i'm a south paw, so finding good used bows are hard

Shrew, Centaur, thunderhorn, theres a bunch out there

[Bert Frelink]

Ian, what is your drawlength and what are you looking for poundage wise??
Regards, Bert.

I have a 28in draw, I am looking for a bow that pulls between 45-50 pounds, I looked at the super shrew just now on sponser link, does anyone have one that could tell me about how it performs?

RER Vortex and Little river. Own both and they shoot great. Kevin does have some in stock. Great bows and prices.<><

Deathwish Longbows, Richland Center, Wisconson
608-585-2121  Steve makes a nice 58" longbow for less than $500.00

Allen Boice,Liberty longbows will make one 58" but only advertises to 60".

[Kingstaken]

Elberg makes a longbow down to 48" in a takedown version.
I shot a 54" @52# I believe and was one of the best bows I ever shot. No pinching just sweet flight. Well under $600 I believe.

Mike Treadway makes a short longbow. They are sweet. I think he is from North Carolina. I can get his number if you are interested.

Ian, go to the Classifieds and post what you are looking for under Traditional Bows. Make sure ya specify left hand and your draw length and weight. I'll bet ya get some responses. And hopefully some good offers as well.

Horne's Archery makes a great 58" Hybrid.Their Brushbow with your choice of basic riser woods and basic wood veeners with maple cores is 475.00 brand new.Check out the Faith and Hope thread they're 60" brushbows.These two donated bows went threw many different hands, arrows,  climates and a variety of game and they still are getting compliments from everyone that shoots them.I have one and have another on order. Just my 2 cents.

I second the Treadway.  I've got a sweet 56-incher and Mike makes them even shorter.

Neil Jacobson at Bear's Paw bows makes a very sweet 58" that is right around the $600.00 mark.  In fact that is the bow that I have been shooting for the last 2 years, it is a hard one to beat.  You can learn more at  www.bpbows.com
