What does the RC mean on the new riser from A & H. I like the way that thing looks and am curious how some of you guys that have it like it.
The RC is for "recurve", it's shaped more like a recurve riser. I haven't tried one, but my new ACS is the nicest bow I've owned!!
I believe it stands for Recurve. This is the only riser I have now. I have sold all my other risers. So yeah, I like it. I has a larger throat that fits my big hands better. Also has a thumb rest that I really like. Helps me get my hand in the same spot every time. The only down side is it is a 16" riser. This means it turned my 64" bow into a 66" bow. Hmmmm, I may have to get shorter limbs.
I had a 14" riser. It was one great shooting bow, but I could never got used to the grip. Strange since I have other long bows and no issues. Now I have a 16" RC. I really like this riser. Like Big Sneaky, just added 2" to the total bow. 2" is really nothing to :banghead: about. Selling off the 1st A & H was tough, I am really glad I did. Hope you can find one and try it. Your the only one to say if you like it better or not. Good Luck!
When you go to a 16" riser does it change the weight of the limb's? Lower then the marked weight on a 16" vs a 14"?
Yellow Dog, I think the guys at A&H told me there was no weight change between using the 14" and 16" standard risers, but going to the 16" RC riser the limbs loose about1#.
A.S. you are correct. The 16 st riser won't loose any weight, but the RC riser will cause limbs to loose a pound or so...
Great info guys....thanks.....I wish I wouldn't of looked at the A & H site....now I have to have something when I had enough stuff already.
Stripstrike,
Sure hope you get a new A&H. In fact, you can leave it over at my house so Donna won't know you spent some more money on hunting stuff!
You don't have to thank me now...that's what friends are for.
