Chrono - 29.5" with a 500 grain arrow I think

So I can't wait till I get back to Montana to see her myself.
Layton said he would ship it to my newest destination when I figure out what it is.
PLEASE LEAVE THIS POST UP...Thanks in advance

Nice!
Sweet,very nice!
Jerry....what post are you talking about that got pulled?
There's no record of one in the Mod forum.
the one i posted yesterday bout my acs ....not a big deal this will run it's course.
I said that Layton Perry would probably chime in will some pics etc but it got pulled.
Had some pm's about it too, but that's ok CACA happens...probably a mistake or computer glitch.
;)

Not sure what happened....no reason for us to pull your thread about a bow showing pics.
like i said no worries bud, thanks for having a site we can all share a common interest in.....that's what is important

Don't know if this is what happened or not but i have on occasion spent a half hour or better typing a "New Topic" with my lousey two finger typing, then another 15 editing my lousey spelling and mistakes, only to hit the close X up in the corner (out of force of habit), instead of the Post button down below. Sometimes being in a rush, from the time it already cost me, I wouldn't even notice that it closed, instead of displaying the post. So - I'd go on to something else, and then later be looking for the post I had (inadvertently - NOT) posted. :confused: Took me a "little" while to figger out that little "trick" of my own - :D I finally tumbled to it by doing the same mistake with e-mails - but being saved from loosing it because that program would ask me if i wanted to save changes to the msg "Huh?" :saywhat: Oh, yeah! :banghead:
That's a beauty! Too bad you don't know the woods...might have to put it on my short list of "must have" bows.
What's the draw wheight at that length ?
Thanks.
Color looks like it might be Bubinga? Although it appears to have more grain than most Bubinga. Experts welcome. ;)
Jerry
Thank you for reposting.
Previous posts conerning the new short ACS also commented on the noise level, however attributed it to shooting too low of an arrow weight.
I would not be suprised that the noise level would have been quite noticeable when you are shooting <8.2 gpp. It will be interesting to hear your feedback once you set-up the bow and have given it a few test runs.
Looks like cocobolo to me. The grain and color is very similar to that on my Orion, and I know that is cocobolo and myrtle. Sweet looking bow though. I like the short risered bows.
Give us a report once you get your hands on her, Jerry.
Just for fun..My guess is that the wood is cocobola. Cocobola would be a great choice since it has highest wt per cubic ft. in comparison to other wood choices offerd, thus adding a slight advantage for stabilty. Note: both Cocobla & Mecassar ebony are 68 #'s per cu ft.
I am setting on the fence over ordering one of these bows. someone give me a push. Thanks, Randy

All you may need is a slight breeze.
I will contact Larry to see what I ordered...been a crazy ride for the last month with the impending move to Costa Rica and the bike trip.....kind of a whirl wind....
SHE IS 60# at 28" - needs a 640 grain arrow like my ads to tame her though I think
I will update it soon.
Jer Bear
Way cool Jerry! Thanks for sharing!
You do pictures way better than I can...lol
God bless,Mudd
I am finally getting around to a few comments on this bow. I am not a short bow fan, That being said this is as smooth as my 60" recurves, I pull about 29.5" so that says alot. Finger pinch did't seem to be a problem either, although being quite a bit lighter than I am used to might have some bearing on that I need to find a little stiffer heavier arrow. Mine are all way to stiff. My son's are a little light about 8 grs per lb. and a little weak spined. I did't ever like the performance I saw with a long bow until now. It put up the same speed that a 60lb. non fastflight Shafer Silvertip, with the same arrow. Pretty also.
Very nice.....
Jerry,
It's cocobolo, 56", and I don't know just off hand what the draw weight is. I'll have to access the office records on Monday. I think you'll like it when you get it into your hands.
wel this is the specs ok
Cocobolo and the limb cores are brown actionwood - RC handle and she's a 56" and is 60# at 28"
Stopping in at three rivers to find a quiver for my BW tomorrow adn some nocks etc for my ADs (didn't know it was on my way... :) ....want to be in Milwaulkee to shot with joe and his gang for wed night.

Very nice looking bow. I really like the lines of the riser. Congrats.
cool looking bow :thumbsup:
See you Wednesday!
Ok so I made it home and on the way I stopped and picked up my 56" 60# ACS longbow...WOW is all I can say right now.
She is FAST and hard hitting...makes the PCH 57# look slow...really it does.
It's light manuverable but I have to tame the noise....have the puff balls on her that came with it, but she still has a TWANG to the string.
Gonna contact Larry and John to see what they think....I have some ideas but experience (usually somebody elses is the first place to start).
Bears are out so i am gonna try to sneak on in the next day or so.
more to come soon

Not a fan of getting away from traditional, however have used this technique effectively when others failed. Install Super string leaches three inches apart at the sweet spot on each end. This plan tamed a nasty sounding string that was both irritating and frustrating.
