Introducing new bow - the ACS -All Carbon eXtreme (ACS-ACX)

[John Havard]

Txnrog, our website has all the details about cost.  This model is priced about $125 more than an exotic-wood bow.

Looks like another marvel in carbon from the Skunk Works.  H

Hi John,

How does the performance of the new ACX limbs compare to the original design limbs of the same lenght?

How does the performance of the new takedown shorty bow in 58-60" lengths compare to the original design bow with 62" limbs for someone with 28-29" draw.

Thanks.

I was getting ready to order another ACS 14in low rist grip but now im confused about which one to order.

I really like the 14in riser i had before and the only reason i sold it was because i was going to order one with some skins and a little heavier.

Man am i confused now!!!!!

JohnV, the ACX limbs offer the same energy storage efficiency and the same dynamic efficiency, so they will shoot the same speed.  The difference is: a) lighter in weight because of the carbon wedge, and b) a bit quieter because of the carbon wedge.  Obviously the appearance is different too because of the carbon overlays.

The whole idea about the new short line of 3PTD's was to equal the performance of our best longer bows in a shorter package.   The short answer to your question is that a 58" or 60" new short 3PTD will store a bit more energy than the original 62" limbs on an original 14" riser and therefore will shoot a couple/three fps faster.

Joevan, I have a simple solution for you:  buy both risers (I know, easy for me to say right?).
