Title: Short ACS's and long draw lengths
Post by: Pat B. on April 23, 2008, 09:34:00 AM

Is anyone out there using the 62" ACS CX's who has a moderately long draw?

I've been using the 66" limbs and love them but have thought about getting a shorter set for blind hunting. My draw length is 29+. Wondering is the shorter limbs will be smooth at this draw length?

Any opinions?

I shot a 62" one time.  Seemed to be very smooth and shot well.  I have a 30" draw.

Pat,my ACSCX is 62" 55@28, I draw 29.5" with it. Bow is smooth to draw all the way to anchor and no finger pinch. In my recurves 60" is as short as I can go, at 58" my fingers get sore quick.

I recently shot a 62 " ACS and I have a draw just under 30". THe bow shot so well for me, I really don't think you would be disappointed either.

For what it is worth I am trying to wear out a ACS-CX right now.  64" but I draw 31 inches.  My guess is the 62 will suit you fine. d

Pat,
A buddy of mine and Paul's has a 62" one. He shoots at Paul's all the time. Its 53@28 probably 56-ish for you. If you would ever come back and shoot with us he would let you shoot it all you want. I draw 29+ and its doesn't stack when I shoot it.

I have both 62" and 64" ACS limbs, my draw length is a similar 29+" and I honestly can't tell much difference between them, both very smooth and have never had any finger pinch (which I have had on shorter recurves, so I do know what that feels like).

I had both 62" and 64" limbs for a couple ACS risers and shot them side by side for a week, shooting maybe 100 arrows through each per day.  Although they performed the same through the chrono, and they hit in the same spot on the target, the longer limbs just felt smoother.  I know that it is not a scientific appraisal, but just an opinion.  I shoot 30.5" arrows drawn to the point.  I had no issues with finger pinch or stacking with the shorter limbs, the longer limbs just felt smoother to me.

A&H are featuring a new group of limbs which fit the existing risers and will go as short as 56" with 62" being the longest in the group. You can read about them on the web-site and contact them for more details.
