I'm planning on ordering myself a 3 pc ACS t/d at the end of the month and was hoping you guys could post your ACS setups here... ??#@??", arrow weight, speed and your draw. Photos welcome too.
Thanks,

Well they are a great bow. I have a few:
66inch, 53#
66inch, 60#
68inch, 66#
68inch, 80#
I like the longer length bows. All are rockets - the 80# is unreal!!!
I only shoot heavy wood - various weight BHs.
53#, it likes a carbon express 250 with 50 gr brass insert and 250 grain head. I cut them 28 1/2 and draw about 27 or so. I've built out the side plate about 1 1/6 of an inch.
Can't go wrong. I have the 3pc wich I got from the classifieds its 57#@28 and a new model 1pc wich is 60#@28. I shoot the cx heritage out of both 250's and 350's work out of both bows and fly almost the same... great shooters although the finish on the limbs can show scratches so I cover mine with limbskins while hunting. I am careful with them but they show use if they fall over too much. I've stopped leaning them against trees now - I hang them up where possible.
Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.

Thinking about a 62" 51#@28". I draw about 26.5".
I have a 64" RC riser 47#@28" which I draw to about 29 1/2". I'm shooting victory Vforce HV 350 arrows with 100 gr. brass inserts and 350 gr. points. Awesome bow! Fast, quiet, smooth and amazingly balanced. The only trad bow I've ever had that I can hold with a open grip and it will stay balanced on the web of my hand.
16 in ST Riser
42 @ 28 (My Draw)
Victory V6 500 Arrows 380 grains
I LOVE this bow!! The grip, mass, draw weight, everything about this bow just suits me. I bought the riser off of a member here (daveycrockett)and got a GREAT deal on it, if I hadn't have got the deal then I probably would have never gotten an ACS simply due to the cost. It hurt a bit buying the limbs but I figured if the bow didn't work out for me then I could get most of my money back by selling them. BOY, am I glad I bought it. It is a joy to shoot.
12" Riser 60" overall GT 55-75 250 grain tips standard insert 30.25 50# at 28" I draw 28

Love this bow, the guys at A&H are awesome to deal with, might be the last bow you buy......DB :laughing:
I have a 66" A&H ACS 3 pc. It draws 59# @ my 30" draw. The 14" riser is Macassar Ebony. I paid extra for the boo limb cores.
I shoot Easton FMJ 300's 31 3/8" long with 75 grain Easton Brass inserts and 145 grain points or 140 grain Grizzly's with a 75 grain brass adaptor. 3 Rivers is the only place I've found with thin diameter 145 grain scre in target points.
I use 4x3" fletch with a wrap.

My 3-D bow set up is a A&H three piece 62" 45# @ 28 I'm drawing about 26 3/4" shooting a 28 1/2" Harvester 500 .001 Total weight 320 gr. It's real flat shooting.
My hunting set up is a one piece A&H 64" 54# @ 28 GT 3555 29" Total weight 490 gr. (225 gr. up front.) Great bows :thumbsup:
I got one on the way it is the 16" RC riser. will be 64" limbs are 41# @28" should be 40# on the 16" riser. I have never tryed the RC riser had the rev2 and rev3.
Hey Cecil,let us know how it shoots. interested. :thumbsup:
I got my 16" rc riser. Shot alittle yesterday evening. very smooth I have got some tuning to do. I like the grip.
I have the 12" riser with 62" limbs. Love it. I have 47 & 49 lb limbs for 3D & hunting. I also have a 2pc version that is also a great bow. I shoot 30" CX 150 with 50 gr insert and 125 broad heads. I have had the 14" riser in 64" and 66" limb lengths. Loved every one of them. I think I have settled on the 62" version on the 12" riser. Good luck with your decision. They are all great bows.
Take care , Randy
Here's a new phenolic 14" with the RC grip. Sits in my hand perfect.

If I new how to post pics. of mine I would but I cant figure it out.
Thanks all for posting. I'm now finally in the position to order but can't make up my mind on a riser! Really like the osage as well as the grey action wood.
This was mine I sold it to a good friend 62" 47#@27"

I have 2 Osage risers and found the color change to be too much over time. My son has a Cocobolo riser which is sweet and more recently I got one in Bocote which is my current fav

I just picked up the new 14" RC riser. Liking it alot.
I have owned a bunch of ACS bows . Presently, I have a 12 in. riser , 62 in. bow and a 66 in. with a RC riser. The 62 in. is 49# and the 66 is 47#.

3 piece takedown,64,47@28, bamboo core, 16 in recurve riser. Owned a lot of bows, this is the best, none even close to how good this bow shoots. Quiet, smooth, no hand shock, and just fun to shoot.
I just got my 66" 52#@28" 16" RC 3PTD, and have only tuned one arrow to it, with the help of Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear.
It is a 750 grain arrow suitable for dangerous game: the arrow is an Axis ST 300 cut at 30.25" from string to back of broadhead, the head is the 265 grain Dauntless, with a 111 grain SS adapter, 25 grain 2.5" Eclipse 2014 footer. The arrow is 26% FOC and flies well with 2.25" shield cut LW fletches (to match Left Bevel broadhead.) I may have to go to longer fletches when I get in the wind with the broadheads.
My riser is cut 3/16" past center, which I think is standard for the ACS series.
Don what is your draw length? Just curious.
ttt
29.5"
Two 14-inch risers, one 16-inch riser and four sets of limbs. Makes for a lot of different combinations from 50-56#@28 inches in 62-inch to 66-inch bows. I shoot wood spined about 15-20# heavier than the draw weight, usually around 12 gpp or a little more.
look below. :)
Gold tip 55-75 with 50 grain brass insert and 125 grains points. this arrow flies great out of bow my 55 and my 50. I add weight tubes to the arrows for the 55 and none for the 50.
My limbs are all ACS ACX with Bamboo cores. one riser is Carbon and the other is wood. The other limbs are my 3D limbs and are on order.
Finally decided and ordered a 14" RC riser in grey actionwood with 62" 50#@28 limbs. Thanks for the input guys.
