Post up your favorite 3 piece setup. Riser and preferred grip, overall bow length, your draw length. Just curious what works for others.

I no longer have the pieces to make a bow but at one time I had enough to make 2 different bows...I still have the 16 inch lefty ST riser...I sold the limbs with the 14 inch ST right handed riser which made a 64 inch bow...the limbs were 41@28 on the 16 inch riser...in those days I thought I drew 30 inches but since then I have learned that with a bow that weight I was probably closer to 31 inches...if I ever do finally get a set of limbs for the left riser I might go for a 68 inch bow

I have talked to the people at A and H on the phone several times...they know what has worked for their customers and are more than willing to share that information

I have three-- All 14-inch JK low wrist risers and 64 inches. I draw 28 inches. Had a set of 62-inch limbs that I sold and wish I had kept. Couldn't really tell the difference in smoothness or performance.

Also had a 16-inch riser that I put some of my "64-inch" limbs on to make a 66-inch bow. Probably a tad smoother, but not so much as i noticed. I'd definitely recommend 66 inches for a 29-inch draw, 68 inches for 30 inches or more.

I have a 66" A&H CX. The riser is 14 and the new 3-D riser design. The limbs have bamboo cores. Shoots great!

I love my ACS! It's the bow that just fits me. 64" ST riser 50# @ 28" bamboo core limbs and it's smooth as silk. I have found .330 spine carbons at 29.5" and 200gr up front tune perfectly for me, and weigh in at 10 gpi.

I bought it from a fellow 'ganger about 3 years ago and haven't had a chance to hunt with it yet due to my school schedule and family commitments. Fortunately, this year will be different. I'll graduate in May, my youngest will be going on 3 yrs old, and we will be living Monterey CA. From what I've heard, there are some great hog opportunities nearby, and they don't have a closed season.

my A&H is the 14" riser in phenolic with the JK grip and my limbs are 47# and 55# the 55# limbs have diomand back skins on them . I do have the aluminum riser also. I'm using carbon express 250's with a 50gr insert and 170 gr zwickey . ive been able to get two bears with this arrow set and the 55# limbs. I think my A&H bows are great

Have the 14" st riser 64" limb setup with bamboo core 41# @ 28.My favorite bow ever.Smooth and fast for a light draw bow.

I have a 14" Macasser Ebony ST riser, 64" amo, 52@28 - I draw close to 30". It is very quiet and fast.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I'm looking for some advice on arrows.

I've got a ACS CS 42#@28 that I'm drawing 28.5. Do you think I can get away with a Axis 600 and 125gr head?

Orion · August 19, 2016, 10:33:00 PM

DL. Yes. I have a 42# ACS I use to work on form. Can shoot .600s or .500s out of it depending on how I load the front. I have a 28-inch draw and cut my arrows to 29 inches BOP. Aluminum insert and 125 grain point works with the .600s. I usually add another 75 grains or so up front when I switch to .500s. I also have my side plate built out a little thicker than the one piece of velcro that it comes from the shop with. You may need to do that with the .600s.
