A while back someone brought in a bow to trade. It was a bow that says "A&H ACS Custom built by Morrison Archery". I had not seen one before so was hoping someone could shed some light. I don't believe that there were many of them made so it's probably a pretty rare bow.

It's a great looking 58" longbow. It's a quiet, fast bow and shoots well. However the poundage is more than what an old man needs to shoot at 57# @ 28" I wonder if any were made in a lighter poundage.

Bob made the ACS design under agreement for OL Adcock for a period of time.

He used to set up booths at B'more and someone in our group bought one...

It was a standard "custom" deal so what you find is what's been made.

My Morrison ACS is 55#@28" 60".

I think Killdeer has one with similar specs.

I used to own this bow. Man it is a shooter! Its one of the fastest bows I ever shot. I am not sure on this but I think there were only a few of these ever produced.

I owned one. It was a little touchy to set up, but shot well after.

I contracted Bob to build a few bows for us several years ago. I don't remember how many he did actually build but it wasn't very many. Maybe 10 or 12?

Bob has always been and is still a good friend. That's why I asked him to help with production. Ultimately we both decided it would be best to handle production differently. That's about the time that the new (and current) A&H was formed in Michigan.

Bob does beautiful work and the bow in question is certainly rare and a good one.

John, Bob also said that it was about 12 of these bows that were made. I sent it back to him because one of the limb tips looked a little damaged. He replaced both limb tips and refinished it. Now it's like new again.

I got the bow from Scott (Slayer 1) and someone else sent a pm with the serial number. I suppose he was the original purchaser so I'll contact him for any info he can provide. I love tracking down a bow's history.

I believe the limbs are double carbon over bamboo, and it was made in 2004.

I have Bob's bow, 60", 51# @ 26". The riser is macassar ebony, and I had Bob put some canebrake skins on the back. It is a screamer. Wish I could talk CG out of hers!

LOL! Good luck with that Killey.

Killdeer · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:03:00 PM »

I'm thinking Charleton Heston and "cold dead fingers" here.

Killdeer :rolleyes:

2fletch · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:11:00 PM »

Dawn Patrol, is that a definite, or are you just guessing?

Hi Killdeer, that's a nice looking bow that you have also. You probably have that Charleston Heston and the "cold dead fingers" feeling also, regarading that nice bow of yours.

Dawn Patrol · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:53:00 PM »

Killey, I think you are right !

2fletch,I don't understand your question ?

2fletch · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2011, 10:38:00 PM »

Dawn Patrol, when Killdeer said "Wish I could talk CG out of hers!", and you said something like "Lol, good luck with that", I then said "is that a definite, or are you just guessing?" What I meant was are you sure that CG wouldn't trade or sell her bow? I'd love to find a 48# bow of the same type.

Dawn Patrol · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:19:00 PM »

oK ,I get it but she will not sell it,she shoots it to good.

Killdeer · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2011, 11:55:00 PM »

Thanks a lot, Don. :mad:

See you soon!

Killdeer

I've shot this bow guys and she she is definitely a shooter. The arrows leave vapor trails behind them on the way to the target. Looks good too. If she were about 5 pounds lighter in draw weight, she would be residing at my house.......Randy
