Not a new bow, but close...
« on: December 24, 2007, 12:57:00 PM »
Just got these new limbs from a fellow tradgang member (Thanks Scott!) and they are sweet!  The limbs are ACS CX limbs by O.L. 64" 62#@28" and have copperhead skins by Bob Morrison.  They fit perfectly on my ACS CX riser from A&H.  Although I was a little worried about the weight, since the last few years I have went down in weight and now shoot bows mostly around 50#@28", I just can't believe how smooth these limbs draw.  Now my only problem is finding some arrows stiff enough.  I ended up bareshafting and finished with a 29" 55/75 GT with 100 grain brass insert, 100 grain point, nock adapter with 70 grains added behind the nock.  Gave me a total arrow weight of 560 grains and almost exactly 9 gpp.  Not the way I normally like to set up and arrow, but it bareshaft perfect and will do till I can get some 75/95 shafts.  Flat out smokes an arrow by the way!

Chris,

That bow looks awesome, since it is Christmas and I am in such a jovial mood lets make a trade. I will trade you, straight up, the Hoyt Huntmaster you sold me a couple of years ago for that bow.  :)  Sounds like a good trade to me, how about you?

Thanks guys it is a great bow!  Bob is definately the master at snake skins.  

Tradtusker, sorry no other pics right now.  
 
Hey Scott that doesn't really see fair, maybe I could through it a dozen arrows too!

Sorry John!
