I have been trying to determine the length of a runway that would be
considered a "short field" for my Archer II.

Whether or not a field is short depends quite a bit on the density
altitude. A 2800 ft. runway at sea level and 69F isn't a short field
for the Archer. The same runway at 7,500 ft. and 100F is probably to
short even for the short field procedure.

Basically, the POH takeoff calculation for the particular runway
will tell you how much runway you'll need for a particular
runway/altitude/temperature combination. Do the calculation, add a
fudge factor, then decide whether or not the POH short field procedure
should be used.
