Any drawbacks to ACS RC Limbs Composite Core?
« on: September 09, 2013, 02:15:00 PM »
I have put a deposit down on an Epic 17" Dryad riser with ILF fittings and a standard set of recurve limbs that are bamboo core and black glass.

I have an opportunity to get a lightly used set of ACS RC limbs limbs with a foam core. Is the noise of ACS with foam core the main drawback for some users?

Thanks

I have a few sets of foam core limbs and all mine are quieter than my wood core.
Also have the ACS-RC, however they are not foam core.
very fast!

I could be wrong but I don't think Dryad offers foam cores on any of their limbs. For cores they offer actionwood or bamboo as an upgrade. I had a set of Dryad ACS Legend limbs with bamboo core upgrade and they were very fast limbs.

I have a new set of the "LEGENDS" with the foam core on a 17in Dalaa riser. They are very quiet with very small Cat Whiskers added to the SBD 8 strand string.  NO draw backs

I have a set of 42# ACS RC ORION long limbs with a foam core, They are very quiet and very fast mounted on either a 13" or 15" riser.

Many thanks for the feedback, it was very helpful. I'm putting my first dream bow together just in time for tuning, practice and then the rut.
