what do you guys think of them? how do they compare to their standard bow?

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

I prefer the 64" ACS for my 27in draw. I suspect the ACS short bow to be at least as good as any other short bow.

We offer 3 pc ACS longbows in both bolt-down and ILF from 56 to 66 inches. A longer bow is always smoother and in most cases faster then it's shorter counterpart.

However, they all have their place. It's very hard to shoot a 64 or 66 bow in a popup blind for turkeys but a 58 is perfect.

Another way to go shorter is to look at the ACS recurve. The feel and speed of the bow is there in spades but you have a shorter strung bow to deal with in tight spots.

I really love shooting Longbows and feel that I have moved past Recurves. but thank you for the info. I quess it will be MOABS for my short long Bows and ACS for my Standard long bow.

The long ones are really impressive shooters. I shoot a 66" bow that is 56# at my 31.5" draw.

Smooth, fast and quiet are words that describe it.
