Post by: rlc1959 on March 02, 2012, 04:52:00 PM
My ACS 2 PC Arrived today. Strung it up and shot a couple shoots. WOW !!. Another great bow from A&H . Shoots right with my 3pc short riser bow. Very quite and stable in the hand. I love it. I have some pics. Need help to post. 62" 49 @ 28. Great performance. I am impressed.
Thanks, Randy

I have shot a couple of two piece bows and several one piece bows. In my opinion this is the best. A little heavier than some and I like that. keeps it more stable in the hand after the shot. You will be impressed if you try one of these bows. just my opinion

Take care, Randy

Is there any reason you cannot shoot the bow without a rubber/leather grip? I'm assuming you can since they have a carbon option and the connection joint seems to be located well below your hand location.

Cool bow.

Materials are grey actionwood. Leather grip covers the joint. They have several grip options. Material is not necessary. Took about 6 weeks or so after I placed my order. I think they have made 20 or so. It is a great bow. I love the 3 pc bows from A&H and this one shoots just as good. I am impressed.

Take care , Randy

I don't know if I would want to shoot one, I seen a fellow shooting a 3 piece A&H once and I went and bought one can you imagine what would happen if I shot one.  :bigsmyl: .....stabow

Are they a sleeve or bowbolt?

Post by: fz4vgq on March 04, 2012, 09:45:00 PM
A&H uses the same basic system as Big Jim/Black Widow/Cari-Bow. A&H gives you a choice of a rubber sure grip, a leather grip or an all carbon fiber grip/system.

What is the phyical weight of this bow? I shot a one piece and it was so light it was hard for me to control. Ken

I just weighed my A&H 2 pc.and it came in at 1 lb. 7 oz. My 3 pc weighed 2 lb. I had another high end 1 piece and it was considerably lighter than this A&H 2 pc.

I really like two pc designs better for the reasons you've already expressed...  Randy it would be great if you could do a side by side with your 3pc (if they are similar specs) for a comparison....  just curious to see if the 2pc design shoots as quick???

This bows got my wallet twitchin    :scared:  

Congrats, sweet shooter!!!

I did a little testing on Sunday. I have 47lb limbs on my 62" three pc. right now. My 62" 2 pc has 49 lb limbs. The side by side speed test was almost the same. Both bows shot my CX 150 that weigh 520 gr. at 184 fps. I draw real close to 28" and shot each bow several times. 184 - 185 was the average. I do have a set of 49lb limbs for the 3 pc. that I will put on and check. The 3 pc is the 12" riser version. A&H says they are set up with the same mold ? I think that is what they told me.

Post by: coaster500 on March 06, 2012, 05:46:00 PM
That's interesting... The two pc is cut to center and the three pc is cut past center right?

I'll be checking to see what you get with the 49# three pc limbs   :)
Title: Re: ACS 2PC Arrived Today
Post by: rlc1959 on March 07, 2012, 09:13:00 AM
The way they shoot I would say the 2 pc is cut the same as the 3 pc.. The 49# limbs on the 3 pc. were a little faster. I got 188 FPS when I put the 49# limbs on my 3 pc. The 2 pc. at 49# got around 184 - 185.

They are cut the same; when I had a 64" 1 pc it shot the same as the 64" 2 pc. Wish I had not sold the 1 pc-what else is new?
Title: Re: ACS 2PC Arrived Today
Post by: coaster500 on March 08, 2012, 10:09:00 AM
I like it with my 2pc fetish I think I'm cooked.

These shoulders of mine I need all the efficiency advantage I can get...  can't shoot Kong weight bows anymore...

Why did ya sell it Bjorn   :dunno:  

I could have talked you into letting me try it out  :)

I knew I'd regret it soon enough and wanted to feel the emptiness of longing and the pain of being deprived.  :bigsmyl:
