Big,

There is nothing inheritantly inaccurate about short bows, high reflex risers, and short braceheights. However, you must have good form to consistantly shoot that design bow well. I just finished shooting the IFAA North American Field Archery Tournament and the fellow that won shot a Trophymaster bow (Jennings)which has quite a bit of reflex, is fairly short, and has a relatively low braceheight. He shot a 1635 out of 1680 in Bowhunter Freestyle Class scoring better than most of the Freestylers. Needless to say that archer is a rock and a real pleasure to watch shoot. My target bow has an 8" braceheight, deflex riser, and a 41" A to A for comparison. If you have a longer drawlength a short axle to axle bow may present you with some anchor problems because of the acute string angle created by the short axle to axle length.
