Title: New ACS CX OSAGE!!!
Post by: PastorSteveHill on September 21, 2008, 08:02:00 PM
Just recieved my new ACS CX Osage! This bow is all it is cracked up to be!  It is quite/ super fast/ and accurate! I really like it!  I know it isn't a true longbow in the sense, but it sure is fun!  I'm not totally dialed in with it yet, but it is a fantastic shooter.  I'm a big fan of the Black Widow  Bows, but I am being converted by this one! I really like it..  It is 64'  and pulls 51 lbs. @ 28 or about 55 @ my draw of 29.5.  Osage Riser.  It is shooting Gold Tip 5575's 31 Long 150 gr. front/ with arrow wrap/ bare shafting perfect!


Here are a few pics..

So, did you have to wait until this bow became available or can we order them now?

I thought about some snakes, on it, but I kind of like the black limbs... I didn't think I would, but they are a pleasant look coupled with the Osage... Now I gotta get serious and dial it in!!!

Nice bow, enjoy.  Osage is the all-American bow material, hard to beat.

Nice looking bow there, Steve.  I like the contrast with the Osage and black.  Looks like you got a winner there.  I'm still leaning towards the "Alcoa Ebony" as O.L. called the alum. riser on my thread...Mike

Steve,

Those aren't the real skins.  They're "limbsations" from Onestringer.

Pastor Steve Congrats! Sure is a beauty! How do you like the grip on her?

Dang, Gene, those Onestringer Limbsations look good!  May have to consider giving them a try on mine....
Do they appear that they'd come off pretty well in case a guy didn't like 'em?

I like your tastes too... mine has limbsations on it too only in copperheads.  Also has antler limb bolts and has a low grip.  Nice bows!

Enjoy!

Could you post a pic of the copperhead limisations on the limbs? I'd like to see that one...

For whom ever asked if we can order now and get a bow the answer is yes.  After waiting 5 yrs or so I couldn't take it anymore and called A & H a couple weeks ago, had the bow in less than two weeks. I was impressed with responsiveness and customer service in general.  And oh by the way, mine's osage as well!  pretty bow
