Has anyone here shot a fred bear supermag 48 if so did you like it? I am going to get a bow and I was wondering if it would be a good choice.

Way too short and way too twitchy.

I agree with Floxter. A 48" bow is dandy for tight spots when hunting and the shot distance is close, but that's about all they are good for IMO. It won't handle a very long draw length either--my guess is 27-28" max, and may have some finger pinch.

Iwas thinking about getting about it because I have a 26 inch draw. What other bow do you all think would be good?

You can get away with a shorter bow with a shorter draw, but I'd still stay with something a little longer--at the shortest a 52", preferably a 58" or 60" (depending on the design).

Hello,
I agree that the 48" bow is too short. It will pinch your fingers and stack something aweful. In short, you won't be happy with it. This is merely one suggestion, but I have a Howatt Super Diablo and love it. It's marketed by Martin Archery. It is very fast, smooth and shoots well. It's a 60" bow. I often get compliments on it at archery tournaments. A couple of my friends have higher priced custom made bows and they say mine shoots nicer than theirs. They are in the $300 to $350 price range and worth every penny.

BB7 Being you have a short draw ,I would not be affraid to try one. I would try to shoot a couple dozen arrows before I made up my mind.
