For The ACS CX People

[FerretWYO]

I am really thinking about ordering one and was wondering what kind of info or input everyone has about based on the two different riser the A&H offers? I like the looks of the 16" riser but what does the experience say? Maybe the A&H guys can throw in some help too?

Thanks

I have the 14 inch riser and have only shot it.  I personally like the shorter riser because it give you more working limb length and it seems to me a smoother draw.

I've had the 14" aluminum riser a year now, and recently (3 weeks ago) received a custom made 16" riser from A & H.  I prefer the 16 inch riser as personal preference since it offers a slightly larger window but mostly because it makes my bow 68".  Now I can rest my binocs on top of the bow and they are at the perfect height to see out of.

This is the 14" aluminum riser, witha  Predator camo dip, a Beavertail grip wrap and arrow rest.
 

This is the 16" riser, with a custom inlay of a bear scene scrimshaw.  Larry did a really nice job on the inlay.  Very talented man.  Wood is Ligum Vitea, (Vera Wood)  which is both oily and heavy.  Actually heavier than water (it sinks).

 

 

Keep in mind that whatever the limbs are lised as, you'll subtract 2-4 lbs draw weight when using the 16" riser.

My A&H bow with 14" riser is the best bow I have ever shot period.  I did get a chance to check out the new 16" riser and it is truly sweet!  Choosing between the two I would go with the 14" metal riser.  If you want to stick with wood, I would choose the 16" riser.  The metal riser just has a little more mass, which I prefer, while the wood 16" riser just has a little fuller handle, which is very sweet!  Talk to John or Larry about your preferences, they will steer you right.  A nicer or more knowledgeable guys you will not find!

the 16" riser offers a longer sight window what would be more usefull if you shoot with your bow straight...I have 3 14" riser (2 alu; one wood) but the next ones will be 16"...

I have the 14" Cocobolo and wish I had the 16" riser. I'll proably end up ordering the 16" metal riser, because of the mass weight and longer sight window.

Do they make a 58" bow?

[Lewis Brookshire III]

They do now and i believe a 56" also. I am really interested in seeing the new short bows.

Mike that Inlay is very cool!

[FerretWYO]

Great info. Thanks for the pics mike. I really dolike the longer sight window. What about the grip. The 16 looks like it has a little lower wrist?

[Bjorn]

I like my 14" risers-the length of the sight window makes no difference to me-never look through it or at it anyway.
