Wow! If I hadn't already been sold (and put this on the list as my next bow), I sure would've after reading this thread! I suspect one of these bows will accompany me to Africa. Thanks!

I just ordered another last week. Now the wait starts....

My bow is 64", 55# @ 28", Aluminum handle with snake skins on the limbs.  7 1/4" from the throat of the grip seems to be the best BH for the bow.  The bow also like a high nocking point for me.  Anyone who gets one of these, try the bow with a heavy arrow.  Adjust the side plate thickness and the nock set until the bow is hitting where you are a lookin.  I have not changed my form at all.  Bow grip, deep hook on the string, swing draw, just like I shoot the Hill.  I would say the bow is equivelant to a hill style longbow that is 5 to 10 pounds heavier in performance with the approx same arrow weight.  I have no scientific testing data to back that, but I can see how much more penetration I am getting into the same sand bank with the same weight arrow shot from my Hill bow that is 5 pounds heavier.  The ACS simply shoots the arrow deeper into the sand and hits with some authority.  I am only shooting about 52 pounds.

I am looking for somebody in the Central Texas area that owns a ACS Bow.  I have never seen nor shot one and i am very interested.  Please contact me and I will meet you--come see you or whatever it takes.  I live in the Marble Falls Area. Baker

Beautiful bows, great performers and the customer service is tops.

If you haven't checked out their website, it is very well done and has loads of great info.

I just got one 64" 49@28.  it is 7 lbs lighter than my saxon recurve but the same speed and no handshock and what noise?  I have the carbon riser which is very light but feels good.  i will try the aluminum after season to see if I like the heavier but for now zero complaints other than not getting it in January!  imo it is worth every penny!

I also want to add that customer service is second to none.  Called today to ask how heavy an arrow they would recommend and we talked 5 minutes. I actually was the one to end the conversation..  If you want to know something just call up there.  They are super nice guys and will not lead you in the wrond direction.  Now I shut up!

I have two, a 64" 48#@28" and 62" 52#@28". The 52# is my hunting bow. I have quite a few other bows but one of these seams to be in my hand when I go shooting.
