A&H has lots of pics and specs on their web site, I apologize to those who have seen this pic too many times before.

Two of the 3pc bows are 50@28 one is 53@28 they are 62" long; and the 1 pc is 50@28 and 64" long.

I draw 30" and I've had the 62", 64" and 66" limbs. My personal preference for all around shooting is the 64" on a 14" riser. Limb lengths are measured with a 14" riser, add 2" to the overall length of the bow for a 16" riser. A 16" riser with 62" limbs will make a 64" bow. They are fast, quiet and are cut 3/16 past center so they are very easy to tune with a broad range of arrow spines. Had and sold a 16" RC riser, at least with myself I had to grip it hard to shoot it well and it just wasn't for me. Here's a pic of the Standard grip, a "JK" low wrist grip and the grip on a 64" one piece. Fast stable shooting bows.

50#@28"62"   it's 47# at my draw. I shoot Easton Axis 500 arrows with a 200gr point. It's a Kingwood riser. My quiver is a Kanati limbolt quiver. I put the snake skins on myself. I originally had the standard riser and sent it back for the low grip. Cost an extra $50.00 plus return shipping. The bow shoots for only 47#. Great bow!!!

Oh Man, just when I thought that I wouldn't spend that much on a bow, this comes along. They're so beautiful and everyone always talks about the smoothness and the speed and accuracy and...on and on.
Bjorn, it looks like your bow quivers are all quick detach. Why do you prefer that to the limbbolt type? I was thinking along the lines of Craigs'(the same Kanati, actually), but maybe there's something else to consider?

I had my Great Northern strapon on but it seemed a little flimsey, so I put on the Kanati and it is a solid quiver. Made very well.

stickbowmaniac, yes the bow is a shooter.  I have a short draw and it is hard to get a bow that has speed under 50# and this bow has it all and more.

Tom, those quivers are GN adjustable strap ons; they can be mounted on the riser and adjusted to be perfectly balanced.

I don't know about a bow quiver - don't like them  I do know that the 66inch, 66# ACS I have will shoot through a Chrysler Imperial!  H

Like Ground Hunter said. I have a bag target and this is the only bow that I can't shoot at it. My arrows go all most threw it.

Luke, they have a new short model with a 12 inch riser that I shot at K-Zoo. It shot really well, You can call John for the Details. If I was not shoot the Welch dakota, I would be shooting one of those.
