A&H ACS bows

[Moots]

I just purchased an A&H ACS one-piece longbow from Redant on this site.  The bow isn't a perfect fit, at 64" and 54# @ 28".  I usually prefer a couple of inches longer and a couple of pounds lighter.  My draw is 30 1/2".

But I just shot my new bow and GOOD LORD does it fling an arrow.  I didn't see flames off the back of the feathers, but I was looking.

How fast are these bows?  I need to shoot this bow some more, but it really seems like a performer.

What do you think of A&H ACS bows?

Mine is 62", 44 lbs. They are smokers!

[Shawn Leonard]

They are smokers but for me anyway, very critical of a very good release to be accurate with them, very critical. Shawn

I have a 64" 67#@28", this is a very fast bow, it shot a 648 grn arrow at 187 FPS.  I'm very accurate with it if my shooting form is standard, but if I have to lean or bend it is hard to keep in the kill.

I have several I've been shooting for quite a few years.  There's not a faster hybrid. Generally quite stable and accommodates most of my shooting flaws, but is a bit sensitive to uneven vertical string torque for me. Regardless, I haven't found another bow I like better.

I know they are really fast. I had a 3 piece and liked it !

[The Whittler]

I have a 3pc and love it. They are all the hype and then some. Enjoy and have fun.

One of the best. I have a couple 2 piece.

Adam and I have been shooting them exclusively for 7 years. A coupla' times I have bought other bows and they quickly wind up on the rack or in the classifieds for us nothing else quite compares-so far.

ACS & Habu are my 2 favorite longbows.  The ACS metal riser shoots the best for me, but also like my new Phenolic one.  My confidence is always boosted because if the accuracy & forgiving nature of these bows.

I have two ACS one piece bows, and they are in a class all to them selfs. I am on a hunt for the best performing bow, and my acs one piece bows are in the top three.

Can't decide between my Toelke classic whip, or my Hummingbird.

[gonefishing600]

Shawn is also correct! They will challenge your form, especially your release.

The one I have in my signature line shoots a .340 carbon with a total arrow weight of 550 grains at 185 fps 2 out of 3 tests. The other was 183 fps. These are great bows,that do prefer a stiffer shafted arrow IMO. If they are underspined,the bows will be very critical as Shawn had mentioned. rat'

I have an few ACS bows all great shooters.  I have one at 80#s - a rocket!

[JamesKerr]

I have never personally shot one but everything I have ever heard about them is possitive. My only question is can you get one built with wood veneers over the carbon on the limbs cause to me I would rather have a pretty bow (not saying carbon isn't attractive I just like wood bows) that shoots 190 fps with a 9gpp arrow than one that is black or grey that shoots 200 fps with a 9 gpp arrow.

[Moots]

80#?  I can't even imagine how fast that is!

James, you are right; the riser is pretty, but overall, my bow is not.  It's like a race-car engine hiding behind a dumpy exterior.  But if I can shoot it well (and I'm not sure I can) then I won't complain.

You can dress them up a little............the tips match too
