Short bow recommendations
Hi all,

I'm looking for a nice quick short bow for mucking about in the local woods, stump shooting, marks, etc etc.
I'm getting a few scratches on my Blackbrook cus it's pretty rough where I go and it's far tooo nice for that treatment!

I Would like it around 50" unstrung or could be a take down, must have arrow shelf , past centre cut would be good so it ain't too arrow fussy, but not essential.
Would like wood and glass/carbon .... No metal Risers!
40-45# 28" DL

Oh .. and as low hand shock as poss cus of my dodgy left claw!

Don't want much do I

Any suggestions? ....

Thans very much for your reply and the offer. The Raven does look a very nice bow.

I'm quite interested in the Hwarang Korean Bow and see there is a discussion going on, no arrow shelf so I may not get on with it. ..... Excellent reviews though.

Cheers!
