In the U.S. people vote with their bucks.  Same holds true for bow trading...   :knothead:

It is like anything, when it first comes out. I remember a VCR selling for close to $400 in the seventies, now $29. as the market gets flooded with more and more(due to A&H making them up as fast as they can turn them out)the price for used ones will drop. My wife always says "whatever blows your hair back!" I love to buy and trade for bows, over 110 in 7 years. My number came up last March for an A&H bow, in the mean time I had found what blew my hair back and decided I would not order one, but that is just me!  :bigsmyl:  Shawn

There are no magic bows, but there are a lot of great bows. Some of the very best bows I have owned have been from low profile bowyers who charge reasonable prices and make reasonable claims. Some of these bows can be had for 700.00 or less and delivered in a couple of months or less.

How much would the poundage drop be? I forget the math for figuring that out.

The new risers should be on their web site in a day or two paired with available limbs. Probably intended as 'stocking stuffers' for the loved ones! Somebody get me one!

Question:
Can't you get an ACX with any grip you want?
Is it too late to be what I could have been?

John and Larry make an outstanding product!  I can't say why people are selling them, because the thought has never crossed my mind.  Even though I still have one on order with OL and hope to one day get it, John and Larry will see more of my money.  That new 16" riser is haunting me.  I got to finger print one at Compton, but since it wasn't a lefty, didn't get to shoot it, but man was that grip nice!  As far as my A&H ACS CX, it is hands down the best bow I have ever shot.  My wife said after one arrow shot through it, she new I was going to buy it and that was at Compton 2006.  She says she wished she could have taken a picture of my face right after that first arrow was shot.  For me, it was priceless.  I have been offered things from cash to Canada bears hunts for it, but it isn't for sale or trade.

Maybe it is me, but I have shot one and I have shot a ton of other bows. I was just as impressed by a lot of other bows as far as speed and quietness. I also found the ACS CX to be harder to hit with right away than most other bows. Great bows for some not so great for others. It all boils down to supply and demand, now there is a greater supply the demand has lessened and people are looking for something else to try. Shawn
