It's been my go-to bow for the last 5 years.  Have killed a couple of nice bucks with them. They're fast, forgiving and quiet.  Can't ask for more than that.

My son and I both use 64" ACS CX for all hunting. We have shot lots of other bows and we always come back to ACS.

I've got several nice bows but 90% of the time I grab the ACS. Quiet, fast and shoots where I look.

i got a CX model - one piece long bow 58" 48# - just in time to bag a gobbler with it before the season closed.
best bow i've ever owned.  smooth, fast and quiet.

Been my go to bow for about 4 yrs.  Have taken two nice bucks, several hogs, and an elk.  Great bow, and the guys at A&H stand behind their product and they are great to work with.

Killed a black bear with mine last year. Zipped right through him. Was awesome.
Killed a bunch of grouse and ptarmigan with it as well.

Tried to get a griz but could only stalk into 50 yrds before the breeding pair smelled us.

Why....bought one a few years back and it just seems to shoot where I look. Great bow.

Like Orion we have been shooting these bows for the past 5 years and have yet to find a bow we like better. Fast, quiet, and made by people who love to hunt!

Thanks eveybody,do you hunt from a tree stand or do you hunt small game also with the ACS,many people here think than this bow is only good when you shot with a good form(like from a tree stand shot) when you shoot small game in snap shooting for sample many say that is not a forgiving bow,what do you thinks ?

I hunt everywhere and everything with my ACS and shoot it any way I need to, whoever told you that stuff is not familiar with the bow.

I have killed elk from a treestand and from the ground with one. It has been the easiest bow for me to hit with. It doesn't seem to matter the position I'm in the arrow goes where I want. It just plain works. Gary

It's like any bow. You can't get a bow and after a week or two say good or bad. Shoot it for a season and I bet it will become second nature for you.

I picked one up last year( 2nd hand) and the more I shoot it the more I like and become comfortable with it. On the recommendation of a couple trad gang members, especially Bjorn, I am very pleased with mine.
