New Bow Pic
« on: August 07, 2007, 09:03:00 PM »
Got my new A&H ACS last week and have finally had time to shoot it today. 64" 57@27. Working with axis 400's, total weight 550gr. Right at 180fps with 10gr/lb. Still working on brace height until string is shot in.

oops , meant 55@27. This is my first metal riser bow. I like the weight of the riser, seems like it makes it easier hold on target till the arrow hits.

Texbow2,
  Nice looking bow!   :thumbsup:  You are a lucky man!! More info needed...what is the brace height? Does it draw smooth? Thinking about getting one, just need to be pushed over the edge.....

Right now I have brace ht at 7 which is right in the middle of the recommended range. Once the string is set I'll move it down to 6 3/4 and start working my way up. The black looks realy nice, the picture doesn't do it justice. Trying to decide if I want to paint it for hunting

no slap at 7 unless i get sloppy. By the time i get it tuned for hunting I will probably have it a little higher for clothing clearance. 6 3/4 -7 1/4 is the recommended range.

Hey Texbow,if you ever want to try building your own longbow,I`ll be more than happy to help you.I have a couple of forms and everything else you need. I helped 3 people build bows last year and they all killed deer with them. And I just live on the west side of Lake Georgetown.
