Love the 3pc.  Fast, quiet, dead in the hand, and just the right amount of mass weight for me.  You have to like black limbs.  I like the RC and JK grips.  I don't have one now, but only because the right used one has not shown up for a while, and the bow fund is real low.

I have 64” 51#@28” aluminum handled riser of my own very low wrist modification.  I used this bow exclusively this while season and it is the first time I’ve ever not thought of needing or wanting something else whole on stand.  I love this center shot bow and the accuracy I am able to obtain with this 3 piece setup.  I have large hands and did not like the standard grip, as it was too small up and down, hence my modification to “open it up”.  I am very particular about grips though but have the grip I like now and can use it with as many limbs as I care to own.  

I am still working on quieting the bow but concede I may not get it as quiet as other bows I own.  I believe the aluminum riser I have may be a factor in that characteristic.  To date, I would say wool silencers seem the most promising, and have exercised all the tuning tricks to that end i.e. different string diameters, location and type of silencers, brace height, arrow weight, nock height, plus, plus…

It shoots a range of arrows with great arrow flight and is a fun bow to shoot.  I still have a bunch of things I want to run past this bow and look forward to shooting it a lot this summer.

Resale is always good so I wouldn’t hesitate giving one a shot (pun intended).

Good luck –

Kris

I just put my A&H back on the classifieds. It is the best long bow I have shot and I have always been a recurve shooter. I have a 43# metal riser ACX, that belongs to my stepson I can shoot it if I have withdrawal .

The performance and smoothness were seconf to none...the grip, for me anyway, was entirely another story. Just couldn't make it work..traded risers with a friend and had same issues..I bought the bow used so it's not as though I had a choice on grips and I'm sure the fellas at A&H are able to make any grip you want. I'd shoot a few and see how they feel...in terms of performance they can't be beat..

If you can find a way to get to Kalamazoo in a couple weeks you can shoot a few, plus about any other bow you wish.

Went on a hunt in Wyoming this year and one of the guys in camp had one in the same specs as my recurves [54@28]. I shot it and it was very comparable [which are not dogs] in performance. Smooth, quiet, fast etc. Very nice bow! If you want a longbow that performs like a recurve you're looking in the right place.
