Well, I once owned a bow with actionwood limb cores and loved the feel, speed and manners from them. I have now shot another one from a different bowyer with AW cores and it had the same characteristics. I am wondering if anyone else with experience with AW cored bows is finding the same thing?
Don't know about the AW? All mine have bamboo cores. I say if you like "the feel, speed and manners from them", then by all means, go for it!

Tom,
All of my Schafers have the standard core and I do believe it is actionwood and I love the feel of them as well as manners and speed.
AW cores are some of the best. I have several with AW and Bamboo. I cant really tell the difference.
AW makes a nice bow fore sure and it was very consistent. To bad it does not exist any more.
I have bows with maple, bamboo and action-boo. All great Bows IMO and I cannot feel anything too varying between them.

I'm a fan of bamboo, I like the feel and the performance. I do have a made for me Stalker Coyote recurve with static tips. It has some kind of action wood or something like it. It performs very well and has the "feel" I like.

Stalker bows by South Cox still lists it as a riser and core wood in his new catalog...... :dunno:
You will need a chronograph to let you know the extra money you spent on Bamboo was justified. rat'
My own builds are 66" to 68" ASL style. Some actionwood, some maple and some elm. Shooting them interchangeably, they are indistinguishable.
