Question for A&H ACS shooters
«

Yes, I have done the search and looked at every single thread about them I could find. Looking for more input.
I Have called and talked to them but want some user opinions.
I am looking at getting an ACS TD.
I would like to keep the bow 60-62 inches (I draw 29"). That means either the 12 or 14 inch riser. (I know the 14 only goes down to 62")
Do they make the 14 inch in the RC grip yet ? Anyone have one ?
For those of you that have shot both please give me your opinions, likes and dislikes.

I have not shot both...only one...and I draw 27.5. I have a prototype of the TD.....not sure what length the riser is ...I'll see if I can measure it in a bit.
Talking to Dan and Larry and taking there advice would be stellar. Those folks are top notch and will shoot straight with ya.
What weight are you looking at getting...?

Thanks Terry. Any where between 45 and 55#
I have shot the 14 inch a couple times. Very smooth. I was hoping they would be at Denton Hill but they are not sure their going.

I shoot A&H bows as do many others here.
I have a 30" draw and am very partial to the 66" bows, they are very smooth and fast. I did have one set of 62" limbs, I no longer own them. Currently I have 6 sets of limbs --- all 66's.
The 14" riser is what I use, however, I have not shot a 12 so have no input there.
Best of luck !

I own the 14" riser and it makes a 62" bow. Never shot the 12" as I like a little more mass but also short enough to shoot out of a blind.
this seems to fit the bill for what I need.
They have incredible performance along with extremely quiet. I have a 28" draw.

Talk to the guys at A&H,they are very helpful with any question I ask them.I love mine,it is a 62" with a 14" low grip riser.My draw length is 27" and really like that length,I had a 64" with the 14" riser but prefer a 62" for my draw.You may be better with a 12" RC riser with your longer draw and want a 60-62" bow.

Ok....that rules out me sending you this 67#er to try.
I don't know what grip it has either....but I like it. Sorry, I'm not much help.

I don't want to part with mine, but at a 29-inch draw, I think you would find the 64-inch bow smoother than the 62- or 60-inch bow. I personally think the 60-inch bow with the 14-inch riser is too short for a 29-inch draw. Might work with the new 12-inch riser. Best to give the folks at A&H a call.

I have a 28" draw and shoot a 14" riser with 64" AMO.I have shot a 62" and it is great also. I have not shot the short riser but have heard from a couple of people they shoot the 14" riser way mor accurate.

I draw a touch over 30" and have the 16" ST riser with 64" limbs making a 66" bow. It is Butter!

The 14" riser is not offered in the recurve style RC grip. I have the 16" and 12" risers with RC grip. (Also have the 14" in standard grip.) The 16" makes a 64" bow and the 12" makes a 60" bow. The 60" bow should be smooth draw out to 29+". If your primary interest is hunting, go with the 12" riser and make a 60" bow unless you really want/need the bigger sight window of the 16" riser. There will be little noticeable difference in smoothness of draw and overall performance.

I have shot a few. I have a 29 1/2" draw and i don't like longer bows. The 12" riser 60 & 62" bows are my pick. I would gow with the 60". The RC riser is by far my favorite grip for the ACS. A local tradgang member has a new 12" RC 62" bow in my weight. I was very impresed with the stability and accurace.

I have the 12" RC riser 62" and draw 29" this will be my goto bow for a long time. Its 50# fast, smooth, and hits hard. (xtrema312 is talking about my bow) Not to mention the guys at A@H are top notch!
