    Love the green glass! 52" is a great size, I wouldn't expect stacking or pinching. Got a Kodiak Magnum and it's flawless.

    Nice and smooth up to 29“. Using this bow by myself with my 30“ drawlength. No problem at all! Draw weight increase is a bit over 3 lbs per inch between 29 and 30“. But no finger pinch at all.

    I have been shooting stick bows since 1967 as a kid. loved shooting recurves and especially longbows. After reading Fred Asbells book years ago about instintive shooting and altering the bow to fit you, I made my recurves perform so much better for me. There were several men that helped to make archery into what it is today. Your bow appears to be an awesome bow for a treestand as well as stalking. Smooth is everything as is a light balanced bow that feels good to shoot.

    Thanks for your comment The hybrid longbows performing like recurves. Shoot recurves and longbows during the last 40 years but got thrilled about this little shooters. Shrews are differently as every other bow I shoot. Designed very well and extremely maneuverable. In my opinion they are for stalking and treestand hunting perfectly.

    I like short bows. All I’ve ever owned is the same #45lb Bear Kodiak Magnum 52” recurve. And I’m 6’2” with a 30.5” draw, sometimes 31” at certain angles. Maybe a longer bow would be better for some things, but I can shoot this one very well and it generates more than enough momentum with my Easton 2317’s and a 175 grain brodhead. Easy to draw, very maneuverable, and exceptional accuracy for instinctive shooting. Stare at target, draw/anchor/release.

    Hello Ryan, I do love short bows too. For your 30,5-31" sraw a 54" Shrew Classic Hunter will do a great job. 52" Shrew of course can handle your draw length without any problem but will stack at your full draw. Just check the draw weight curve of our 54" Classic Hunter II: www.bodnikbows.com/images/pdf/classic-hunter/shrew-bow-classic-hunter-2-draw-weight-graph-54.pdf

    For this draw I am recommending the 54” Classic Hunter. Of course it’s no problem for the 52” bow too. I hunted last year successfully Whitetails in Michigan with a 52” Shrew. From 29” / 30” still adding less than 3 lbs/inch! But 54” Classic Hunter is just a bit smoother. But the 52”” is a hard hitting fascination bow.
