Title: New to me Adcock 1 PC
Post by: hormoan on August 24, 2007, 11:16:00 AM
My will power to stop buying bows had a break down this past week.  :rolleyes:  You guys know about the sickness, so I will not go on about it! I'm pretty much a recurve type of personality. But still have a weakness for longbows. This bow made a few second apperance on our site. And I was the fastest on the draw  :D  It arrived yesterday in the mail. I had it freed from the clutches of its box in seconds. With a quick over inspection, and strung. Off to the backstop we went, shot it 40 to 50 times during the afternoon. This morning I took it to the downstairs range and shot a few. I think we can make some venison backstraps this fall with it. Least we are going to try our best!

It is a ACS 60" 1PC 51 Lbs @ 28"

Never thought I'd get my hands on one of O.L.'s 1 PC bows  :saywhat:  

          Sweet shooter!

Nothing wrong with a sickness that is not terminal. As a matter of fact, many sicknesses help build immunities. Your (our) sickness will help keep us immune from that nasty compound virus.

A real sweet bow for sure!!

No cure for this, just a treatment...more bows or more shooting or both! It's a condition you will just have to live with.

Tim I don't need much of a excuse, to disapper into the basement range. Especially if you show up!!!

I'm going to have to do something about my sickness\\obsession. Maybe like built a bigger bow rack???  :D  Or heaven forbid sell one or some?  :eek:  I am much better at buying than selling  :saywhat:

Brent I hear you buddy I have the weakness for nice bows.  Yesterday I just bought a Morrison Cheyenne and a Shrew Samurai!!  I thought I might have to retreat to Allegan for a place to stay after I got home!!

Just a word of wisdom, and experience. They have total grievance recall. The water that went under the bridge today. Can and will recircleulate. With higher flood waters tomorrow   :eek:  

Your always welcome to come over and shoot in the yard. Tonight is good   :D   Only 6 miles south of Allegan!

My wifes Mom lives in Allegan off from on 38th between 112th and 111th so I dont think that is to far from you.  Might have to see if we can get together and do some shooting.  I will have to talk to her and see what we have going tonight.

Brent, when you get ready to sell that Blacktail, I want to be first on the list!
Title: Re: New to me Adcock 1 PC
Post by: hormoan on August 24, 2007, 06:31:00 PM
Allen I will keep you in mind should that day ever arrive. Norms bow's just may be priceless. Not just my opinion, look for a nice in your groove and a used one. It can be done, but will be a chore and his wait will seem very short!

I have others that I really appriecate also, his really stands out to me. But there is that weakness I have, you fill in the blanks only for you!!!!


The quest has been for me, a longbow. I could pickup and shoot, like my Blacktail, Black Widow PGA, or Hoyt Gamemaster. And shoot it, at my level (not real high by the way). And not miss a beat. Been a tough chore, but today after shooting this one. It just may be the punched tag!

Then again, my friend Larry Hanify who make's the new ACS 3 pc's. Has came up with a riser, at least in RH so far!!!!!!!!! ( Oh yeah I'm on him for a change in that!!)

That I like even though in RH only so far!!(He's gonna hate me for that!) One I may not be able to live without. A longer higher wrist riser, that I'm parcel to.          


           
  :thumbsup:    Brent

Hey Tims on his way over to cast a few!!!   :campfire:

Hormoan- I own one of those fine 1 piece bows. Let me warn you , after shooting it, you might not ever pick up one of your other bows! Mine was the first bow that shot "exactly where I was looking". 55yrs of buying bows, and finally THE BOW! Biff
