ACS Longbows ???
« on: October 06, 2010, 10:04:00 PM »
I was wondering does anyone use any type of limb pads or put wax in the limb pockets on there ACS, or is there no need for it on these bows. If so what material do u use to make ur pads?

I had to put wax on my black widow limb pockets to get it quite and rubber pads on some of my other bows to get them quite. Also I had to add pads because the limbs were contacting the riser and causing damage to the finish on some previous bows.

Also what brace height did you set your ACS at?

Thanks

I just got mine so I am not much help with the wax.  I will follow this thread to see that for myself.  My brace height is best at 7 1/16.

62", 61@28, bh SET AT 6 3/4"

no need to cushion the limb pockets

I have 3 3pc ACS CX and whether they need it or not I gave them a little string wax between the riser/limb surfaces and a tiny bit of grease on the screws. Can't hurt, and they don't get taken apart or unstrung sometimes for years.

Nothing needed. I have a 66" and a 64" that are braced at 6 3/8 and a 58" that is braced at 6 3/4

You're going to like it!  I had one awhile back and didn't have to put anything on it to keep it quite. Great hard hitting bows!
