| Part of the reason is that short bows are reguarded in the USA as hunting bows. Most manufactures then produce a target bow that is different, ie longer. This gives them the option of selling two bows to an archer instead of one. Sponsorship of target archers to shoot those longer bows reinforces the idea that longer bows are good for target shooting. Sound comercial tactics.
