Maybe not BP, but everybody else does.

i've got a couple of" short" bows- about 3 ft long, that bow on the clip looks about the size of my "Jaques" type longbow.

Most of the Kassai bows fall in the range of 50-54 inches strung, My Grozer Avar Bow comes in at 54 inches strung. The Scythian, Persian and Turkish bows are around 45 inches when strung.

my blue bow is 55 inches long, the other one is 60inches.

I still fancy a 34 inch long Compound

If that's what you want mate get one, you shoot best with what you are happiest with. I am not a fan of compounds as you know, but it would be a very foolish traditional archer who does not recognise the benefits of using a compound bow, and the accuracy they are capable of.

[NorthernRaider]

I like compounds but know and accept they have a much shorter working life and are more more of a pig to maintain, thats why I want a 48 inch Korean bow or two when funds allow.

A lot of bows look to complicated for me, that why I went for a cross bow,.. but I will look for a simple one sometime.

That first guy was absolutely ace, he must have been doing that since he was old enough to walk

The hardest part is knocking the arrow without looking in one smooth motion, you have to practise hundreds of times a day just that one move. At first standing still, then walking, then jogging/running, and finally on the horse. You have to time your shot so when you shoot the horses feet are all off the ground when cantering or galloping.
