Let's talk about Acadian Woods Bows...
« on: March 06, 2008, 10:47:00 PM »
...specifically, the 3-piece Tree Stick.  Mine will have a Macasser Ebony riser with Bacote flare and Bamboo limbs.  60" 50@28, medium grip.
Three things to remember here:

1. I have one ordered and paid for.  You don't have to convince me one way or another.

2.  It's going to be July before Tim starts on my bow.  I need this now.  (Think of this as   your  chance to be my bow-therapist)

3.  Pictures are fun!

   :campfire:  

P.S. -- Thanks again, Mike B.  It's your story to tell, should you choose to...

I've shot them. THey are nice shooters and Tim is an incredible bowyer. His bows are more like art than bows.  Seriously, I'd be afraid to hunt with it... It seemed to shoot real smooth and was plenty fast. I didn't chrono it, but it was cooking up there with the best of them.  You will love it I'm sure....
Blessings,
Steve

I did a lot of bow buying/trading the last 2 years. I discovered that the grip and the physical weight of the bow are the determining factors on how well I shoot any bow. This will of course be different for everyone.
With that said, I have a 1pc Tree Stik that is my go to bow. Phenominal shooting bow for me. I bought it used and it is beat up, one day I will treat myself to a new to my specs. Of course there are still a few bows out there I want to try yet...

I have a friend that has a 3 pc classic recurve that he is planning to sell here once his new BW arrives. Personally, I think he's nuts, but I'm sure he will have no problem selling it here. Of course if I was a righty it would never make it to the board. I really like the Acadian Woods bows. They are at the top of my want list, but unfortunately they rarely hit the board. I can't wait to see yours.  :)

Curtis,
If you haven't already done so, do a search using "acadian woods" in the PowWow threads. It'll give you about 5 pages of stuff on Tim's products and service.
My experience with his bows has been a 3 piece recurve, a wonderful 3 pc Tree Stick with 3 sets of limbs, and a 1 piece "Carbon Reflex" recurve.
I've known Tim for about 4 years now. No, he doesn't do me any favors for bragging about his bows...But here's my opinion:  Tim applies a tremendous amount of talent and experience, both as a bowyer and a hunter, to his bows. What you'll get from him will be a work of art. It will be fast, quiet, and will bring out the best in you as a bowhunter or archer. He's also determined to make you a happy customer.
I'm only as good as my first shot.

Had one....Pastor Steve, could it have been yours initially? I got it from Murray Landry who said he got it from a pastor with shoulder trouble I think. "Glory to God" on the lower limb, 63@27 if I remember.

 

 

 

Grip was way too big for my hand, I cut it down a good bit. After that, she shot like a house on fire. It was long, but the stability was worth it, very quiet, speed was acceptable but not what I would call a burner. For all it's other good qualities, that was certainly not a detriment. I really like the peaked shelf he does, very tolerant of spine and minimal riser contact.

Lord told me one day to give it to my blood-brother Squirrel Bait. He promptly proceeded to kill stuff with it.

Appreciate the replies.  Would love to see your bow if you can find a pic, Gary.  Toxo, I'd wager I've probably already seen those 'search' posts.  I had been thinking about ordering one for quite a while now.  Some Ironic Mumbo Jumbo happened, and, Boom! ...I'm getting one!

Mine is at Tim's right now getting a new set of limbs fitted to it. Cannot wait to get her back. I have had two 3 piece T/D longbows and love them. Wish I had never sold the first one. It had three sets of limbs and one set were recurve. I probably would not have as many bows now if I had kept that one. LOL   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

Never seen one in person, but my buddy said a 3-piece Treestick was the quietest bow he's never heard.

Curtis, heck I can't wait until you get it! That combo should be awesome!   :thumbsup:  

I've had two of the one piece Treesticks and IMHO are one of the best all around longbows on the market. I have probley shot them better than anything else I've owned.
