Yes, I talked to John about it a great deal. He stated if you only have time to shoot one bow, "you need" to shoot this 12" bow--He is that impressed with it. Unfortunately I ran into to some friends and small talked my way through the show. I plan on heading back today.

We had a chance to discuss the recurve, he is very excited about that bow. He expects in the next 6-8 months to have it ready for us all to see. He had a few there hidden away--He offered it to me to shoot and I told him I would be back today to take him up on it.

Great fellow to talk to.

OOOO...With all the good things said about ACS this could be the breaking point for my wallet!

Pete,

Thanks. I'm going to bring that thread to the top. I think I'm going to be sick from reading it. I had no idea A&H had this in the works. Its amazing what you'll miss just spending a few days away from the net. I need another ACS like a hole in the head.......

Kevin,

Be sure to give us your impressions on the bow. With someone as picky as you are, I know we will hear the straight scoop.

Sorry to disappoint gents, I was unable to get my hands on the 12" ACS today--Pretty busy place. Quite a few tradgangers there, I am certain someone will comment on that bow.

Allan, Picky as I am ? :rolleyes: --What on earth would ever give that impression?? LOL I would think that painstaking or meticulous would be more of an accurate statement.

I must say though Allan, the Shrew Model-T looked awfully good. Take care.

I shot the little 12" and was really impressed with it's pointability and quickness! I did feel some vibration after the shot but I did on all of the ACS bows because the arrows were pretty light for the set-ups. It was very light and felt identical to the one pc ACS. Shooting was limited to 8yds but I had good accuracy with it and it was very smooth drawing. John said that it needed a good 650gr. arrow to really shine and nock out the vibration. I'm glad they didn't have a heavy arrow for me to shoot.

I had the same impression as Kenneth. The bow was smooth and quick. My arrow wasn't quite right for it but after the first 4 arrows it shot a great group ,but only 8 yards:) John says part of the arrow noise is because the bow is cut so far past center to allow a greater range of tuning, and my arrows could need more tuning. I look forward to shooting it again at Compton's with the then best technology available. ACS really does there homework and testing on their bows.

Great little bow. L loved that little riser and RC grip. I can't recall the weight, but I want to say low 40's. It was pushing my 540 gr. arrows hard.
