RC riser

[Two Dogs]

Has anyone shot or have been, the RC riser from A&H? If so, what's your feelings, is the grip more like a recurve, or longbow. And do you like it?

The RC riser is the best of the ACS-CX risers in my opinion/experience. I like the grip better, the little bit of extra mass makes it deader on the shot and the limbs have been quieter on them for me.

i am a diehard acs shooter.  the rc riser was not for me.  i much prefer the standard  riser.  i can shoot it with a higher wrist. if you are looking for more weight/mass check out the aluminum risers, they are awesome.  just my opinion.

What I like is a narrow-small longbow grip,I cannot shoot the recurve type grips anymore, the longbow straight grip just feels more comfortable to me. Hence,the curves just hang on the rack.So is the Rc more to my liking, or the standard riser?
thanks

I like a low grip myself and the RC grip feels more comfortable to me than the standard.

Two dogs.  Unless you want/need the longer riser, the JK low wrist grip in the 14-inch riser might suit you better if you want a "narrow, small longbow grip."  It's a little thicker in the throat back to belly (about 3/16 inch thicker) and about 3/8 inches less in the heel than the standard (medium/high wrist)14-inch riser.

I'm with Vermonster13, I really like the "RC" riser. It feels great in my hand.

Just my two cents,

I'm also with Vermonster13.  I've had both the 14" aluminum and wood.  Was never really satisfied until I bought a 16" RC.  It has a larger grip so for my big hands, it was a better fit.  I also love the small thumbrest, puts my hand in the same position everytime.  Hope this helped.  Cade

Two Dogs,
If you like a straighter (meaning lower wrist) grip (as opposed to a high-wrist grip) then Orion has it right - the "JK" grip we offer is a lower-wrist grip that enables you to heel the grip much like older-style longbow grips.

I personally like the RC grip (it was actually based on a riser I originally built for myself) but I like a high-wrist grip where I support all of the bow's draw weight in the web of my hand.  In fact, when I shoot any of our ST (standard) grips I balance them on the web just as I do a recurve-type grip.  

So it's up to you.  We can make a low-wrist grip in either the 14" ST or the 16" ST.

Two Dogs,
I should have thought to include a photo of the JK grip we offer.  Here's the link.

You can also click on any of our other riser photos to see up-close pictures of the RC riser shape as well as the ST riser shapes.

RC riser, I had a standard prior, but really like the RC much more.

Hey guys thanks for the input, John great photo's I like the way it looks. However, after seeing Highcountry's pic's I realize I like them both. At some point I"ll have'ta try both in my hand, as a grip is so important in my shooting.
 thanks again, T.D.

I have shot a 14" standard for about 16 months. I am a life time recurve shooter, so i like a high wrist. I shoot the same way as John, all the bows draw weight in the web of my hand. I also have a bit of a low anchor so with the 14" standard riser with the high wrist grip i ended up with the target sopt just at the upper curve of the riser. This buged me, i shot the bow very well and loved it, but i could not get used to my sight picture in the top of the riser. I just recently sold the bow and ordered and recieved this two weeks ago and i think my problem is solved. I dont have it tuned up yet but i think im going to like it very much.
