SO YOU WANTED AN ACS RECURVE . . . EH?

[wingnut]

Basic riser $300 and RC limbs $625 plus $25 S&H.

You can go fancier if you want for more $.

Will there also be a model with a built-in nitrogene arrow cooler....just in case. :-)

[wingnut]

Yep instead of a stringer we were thinking of a fire extinquisher to send along.  LOL

Hey Mike, the flaming arrows are a good indication of what kind of speed we can expect! The static tips I've shot in the past were easy to quiet...what can we expect from the ACS in the silence department? Thanks, Jr.

[wingnut]

They are not as quiet as the Epic but are pretty easy to temper down.

sir,

we are a few on the main french trad internet forum (   ATO ) to wonder what you mean exactly by 50.000 cycles, does it inculde firing each time or only drawing...of course that's not for bashing but just for well understanding...I am myself an ACS first hour fan...If I count well I still have 5 of them at home and have even owned as much as 8 under my roof        

what would be your recommanded length and draw weight for some 53@29" limbs mounted on an hoyt buffalo riser (with ILF adapters) ?

Jean,

The cycle tester draws the bow to 30" and lets it down to brace.  Repeats and counts.  We run it continuously for 50k (about 92 hours).

I didn't know the hoyt buffalo had ILF adapters and have not even handled one since they came on the market.  What length riser is it?  And what is the weight conversion for ILF limbs to it?

Mike

Hey Mike,

Congrats on your new limb design.    

I just about ruined a perfectly good key board seeing the flaming arrows. I sprayed coffee all over the screen laughing. I've been tempted to do something similar myself, but ya beat me too the punch on this one.  

I have a question for you, if you don't mind?  Does this limb design have the same radius cross section as the ACS long bow limbs?

Mike, thanks for your answer...the ILF adapter can be bought seperatly, the buffalo riser is made for the formula system...the buffalo riser is 18.5"...I have no idea of the ILF weight conversion for it

[wingnut]

Yep Blacky told me about the adapter and said at least one of them was only for their limbs.  An interesting concept though.  Can't figure why Hoyt did that.

When you say all 4 limbs fit the new riser, I assume that includes the ACS LB limbs. So all the limbs also fit the ACS risers?

[guspup]

Very Nice Bow :-)
It would be cool to see the cycle tester in action.
You do great work!!!

[beyondmyken]

HECK, gimme one of those bows and I will not only draw it over 50,000 times but will shoot an arrow that many times too.  Might take me more than 92 hours to get that done, however.   :D

[wingnut]

Todd,

The bolt down riser and limbs fit our Dryad Orion riser only.

[wingnut]

Kirk,

Nope, different radius designed to optimize the performance of the limb.

Mike

[LITTLEBIGMAN]

so what did it do thru the chrono?

[wingnut]

Jim,

Unlike some bowyers we do not publish our numbers but wait for official testing.  Blacky will have a set of limbs in a few weeks and should have test results in time for KZOO.

Mike

[xtrema312]

Will there be an ACS recurve limb to fit an ACS riser? I really like my RC riser.

[wingnut]

Nope, we are not associated with A&H archery.  YOur bow is an A&H ACS longbow.  They build bows under a license agreement from our partner John Havard.
