Anyone have the new shortie ACS in thier hands yet?

[AKCrazyhorse]

I'm feeling the need......Planning a trip to Africa next summer and I'm thinking that petite little death machine might be just the ticket for those waterhole blinds.  Interested in feedback from anyone that has one if they exist yet.  I know from the website that they can be ordered but has anyone taken delivery yet?

Mind telling us what the shorty is?

Yea...I'd be interested to know as well.  I've been looking a lot lately at the ACS but I like shorter bows for my 26" draw length.  Tell us more!!!

Here's a copy and paste from our website:

Announcing our newly-designed short 3PTD longbows!!
We now are offering two short three-piece takedown longbows ranging in length from 56" to 62".  These new short 3PTD longbows are the result of over two years of development and testing.  Our new line of short 3PTD's store energy like no other short bow we have ever tested.  The result is a line of short bows suited to draw lengths that will accommodate most everyone and (here's the key) provide performance that rivals our very best longer bows. The new 56" bow will be well suited to draw lengths ending at 28". The new 58" bow will accommodate 28" draw lengths with ease and possibly 29".


The 60" and especially the 62" bows will be comfortable for draw lengths up to 30".  These new bows incorporate an entirely new limb design and an entirely new riser design.  They are unique from the rest of our existing line of bows and offer our customers something very different and new. The two designs are based on two different risers, both of which are 12" long.  The riser for the 56"-58" bow uses geometry optimized for that length as does the riser for the 60"-62" bow.  Limbs for the 56"-58" will be purpose-built to fit the matching 56"-58" riser.  Likewise limbs for the 60"-62" bow will be purpose-built to fit the matching 60"-62" riser.  They will not be interchangeable on the other length 12" riser, nor will they fit onto our existing line of risers.  This was necessary in order to optimize the performance of each length bow.


Fitting both sets of limbs on a single riser would have resulted in compromising performance for both length bows.  Compromising performance is not in our nature! Both of the new 12" risers will have standard grips much like our longer RC risers.  Lower grips can be ordered for a small extra charge. We are now building these bows and are taking orders for them.  We will add photos to our website as they become available.  If you want to learn more about this exciting new line of bows please give our shop a call.
