Hey Pops! Thanks for asking..........Adam did get another hog near Healdsburg, and he has an Elk hunt in August-the PBS Youth Leadership Hunt; I get to go along as shlepper!
I hope you are putting your weapons to good use?

Pops, no is the shortest answer.  The recurve design needs a different limb mounting angle than the longbow limb design.  Plus, the recurve limb butt will be a fair amount wider than the butt of our longbow limb.

O well no problem just have to start putting the pinnies away and get that bow budget built back up.

Thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail. I realize that doing R&D must be an expensive business and as you say the current climate isn't helping matters. I'm doing my bit as I have just purchased one of the 1pc bows  

A year will give me the time to save up for the recurve.

Regards
Andrew.

Here is my new 1P ACS, 60" 64@28...I couldnt be happier John, Thank You, Shane

i shot that recurve and it shot real nice even if i couldn't get my hand around the riser......LOL very promising for sure.  I shot a bunch of bows and the new 1pc is just plain awesome.  Larry knows i'm going to order one eventually.  Very impressed with the shooting qualities.  cheers   ron

I have 56" 1pc on order missed weight a few weeks back I hope it's getting close to done waiting sucks.

TTT
Hopefully John will be able to give us a more current update?

Hey Burnsie,
This is a blast from the past!

Cycle testing one right now in the repetitive draw machine.  After 100,000 cycles we'll feel better about the longevity of the special carbon we're using.  

I'm always the one pushing (probably too fast) for the next thing while Larry reigns me in.  If this tests out okay it will be a big hurdle cleared.  Getting carbon to hold up on the belly of a recurve as long as glass isn't easy.  But if you can get the right formula then you've really got something.

The new-design short 3PTD longbows are eating up our fixturing and machining time right now.  We're also working on a super-interesting riser/bow design that I can't discuss at the moment.  I can certify that it will be totally unlike anything else built by anybody anywhere on the market.  It's getting close to being released.  THEN comes the recurve (presuming we're satisfied with our carbon design).  We are a small shop and have to take things sequentially.  Suffice to say that the recurve is progressing nicely although not quite as fast as my impatient self wants.

Small "Shop"? You mean lab. I envision you guys like a group of mad scientist always coming up with a strange new brew. I can wait for my new Shorty! Now what, a "New" design? I haven't even got my hands on my next one, and before I can replenish my account your releasing another must have? Keep it up guys. I'm in a love/hate with the suspense....

A&H Archery - ha!  More like "Skunk Works".  H

Keep up the good work John.

John, your product is a excellent one and I thank you for having it available.

Sounds very interesting. Looking forward to this release.

Thanks for the update John.
