JC,

From firsthand experience I know why you are holding out for the 3-PC ACS CX.  I owned 4 different one piece ACS bows and at 12 oz they were entirely too light for me to shoot with any consistency.  That is why I prefer 3-PC T/D recurves and longbows!

foudarme,

Is your 60" CX a one piece or a three piece?

Oops I made a mistake: she is 62", TD, A&H, 3 pieces...

Don't mean to highjack your thread Wildman...but I am curious now. I bought a new/used ACS-CX 62" 60#@28". Love the way it shoots...this dawg can hunt! But for target/tournament archery I am thinking of getting lighter limbs. Do you think 66" limbs in the 48#-50# range would be a good choice?

snag,

I would think 50# limbs would make great tournament limbs.  If you are accustomed to shooting a 60# hunting bow, you shouldn't have any problems with 50# limbs for the duration of a tournament.

Is there any draw back to going with 66" limbs if you are shooting 62" limbs? I just thought for tournament archery the longer limbs would be smoother...? Would it have a negative effect on my shooting switching back and forth between 62" and 66" limbs? Or does it really make a difference?
