Nope. Had a set of the lower end EPICS that were too short for my draw.

ok,well it all started with me getting a set of Legend ACS limbs, I liked them, I liked them a lot! I liked them so much, I saw an Orion for sell with regular longbow limbs for cheap, I bought it with the plan to buy a set of boltdown ACS RC limbs for it. So we went to the CTAS shoot because Mike was going to be there with the Dryad booth, planned on buying me a set of limbs and have my wife shoot some of their bows for future reference, well my wife got a complete Orion with ACS RC limbs and I got a t-shirt. The bows are fast, they are smooth, but start out feeling on the heavy side, but don't increase as much with each inch of draw as most bows which is what makes people say they feel like they have a let off feel about them. Mike said they only gain about a pound and a half for each inch of draw past 28". I pull right at 31" and I have XL limbs on a 17" riser and it's awesome. With the static tips, a 64" riser only takes up the length of a normal 62" bow. I almost sent you a note a while back when I seen you sold that Epic bow right after you bought it, I was going to tell you to buy a set of bolt down ACS limbs next so I could buy them from you when you sold them:) One piece of advice I'll give you, if you get a set of these and you don't put them on one of Mike's risers, buy a set of the machined bushings that Mike sales, they cost $5, it will make the bow quieter. Any other questions shoot me a line.

Thanks. Mine got here Fri. 46 on a 19" longs with Das bushings. I've played with 'em most of the weekend. This adjustable stuff is nice, but I'm not sure if it is for me. The limbs are all they say they are, NICE.

We got a real similar setup, mine is 44# but have it on 17" riser so it's 46# mid preload.
