Mike, I have the orignal ACS-CX and it has been torture tested by shooting  very light arrow's at speed over 240 fps, the bow became my tournamnet bow and during that time period I shot it every day(except tournament's) 5-6 hrs, then when hunting season rolled around it became my hunting bow and continues to be the rare bow I'm attached to   :D  Bow's tend to be like claw hammers and simply tool's with me and I treat them as such, but this one has done it all...keep in mind the bow I'm speaking of was only a prototype and though in my eyes its hard to imagine, the design has continued to evolve.

I have several ACS-CX's all by A&H.. They are without a doubt my go-to bow..

I've only had one wood riser and several aluminum's.. The mass weight was the ticket for me but the wooden risers are sure pretty!

A recurve?  O.L., what's up with that - I thought the ACS design was to get rid of those pesky recurves?

From what I understand, it is just a recurve handle, not limbs? Am I wrong guys???

A&H is developing an entirely different handle and recurve limbs. John H is taking one on his moose hunt.

You guys shooting ACS bows.  What if anything have you been using for a lower limb protector?  Thanks...Mike

Mike, I use a rubber limb protector just like the ones they use on Widows.  Works good.

Hi Mike, I have shot both the aluminum riser and the wood riser as I  have both.. I found that the aluminum riser was too heavy for me..  I am currently replacing it with a Zebra Wood from A@H.  I can't remember the difference in weight between the two, but I think its around 14 oz.  I'm sure someone will correct me on this if I'm wrong..   Hope this helps,  Jim

Jim, did you just order the Zebrawood?  Is it the one in my pic on the second page?  I was told it shipped to someone last Friday, so that made my decision that much easier...Mike

The lower tip only touches my boot, and every year or so it goes in the stringer bottom cup, no need for a protector for me.

Hey Mike, no, that's not the zebra wood I have coming.  I had 3 to choose from and it took me about an hour to make up my mind between them!!!!  Jim
