Steve   HEY  wait a minute. . . .  I. . .am a fisherman !   That too is a pretty broad brush !

Teasing.   We should all lighten up and smile more.  We all lie just a little and manage to call it something else.

Hope we all have a happy (Easter) weekend, even if you don't celebrate Easter.

Even while the big cat waits patiently in ambush, his anticipation runs high.

Some candid feedback would be much appreciated.

Got your set glued at 3:30 this afternoon.  Should be shaping on Saturday.

Hello:
I have one with XL limbs on the long riser.  It's relatively light draw at 42#.  Still tuning and haven't chrono'd it.  Was hoping that the one mentioned above as enroute to Germany was for Blacky so we could have his input.

Mike told me to add approximately 8#-10# to the actual draw weight when selecting spine.  

Mike cautioned me to use ONLY a block and cup stringer, never a double-cup style.

Regards, Kevin

Here is an opinion from Germany.
Got my Epic ACS RC yesterday. 17" ILF riser, long recurve limbs, 62" bow. 45#@28", 48#@29,5" (my draw lenght)
Came with a nice skinny string and inserts for a bow quiver. Thanks again, Mike!
Its a real nice riser, the high grip has got a perfect profil, it is very narrow in lateral expansion though. But thats a matter of habit and a subjective thing I guess.
The rough finish is great. Its like an anti-slip covering and the wood looks great as a result.
The limbs are THAT great. Very smooth and fast, good workmanship. Pretty lightweight and very torsion-resistant.
Indeed the arrows I was checking out with Stu Miller are not stiff enough, I was hitting a bit right all the time, but in pretty tight groups at 15 yards.
So I´ve tried the arrows from my 54#@29,5" recurve and yes, perfect match.
You can feel the high preload at the beginning of draw, but at full draw its very smooth, no staking, not at all.
Without string silencer you can hear the speed, wich means it is very loud     But with some fleece in the string and some fine tuning the bow is silent now. I´ve done some grease in the brass bushings at the ILF screws, cuz there was a vibration to ring out, now there is absolut silence.
The bow is worth the wait and the money imho.
I guess we will be friends.

Much thanks Jorg for the candid feedback.

I received mine a couple weeks ago, 13 inch riser and a 58 inch bow 57@28. My draw is 29. Have been pretty busy but did get some CE Heritage 350's pretty well matched to it. As others have attested, without silencers it was pretty twangy but after a couple wooly puffs and wrapping the string where it contacts the limbs, it is one of the quietest bows I own. Arrows weight is just under 700 grains. I don't chronograph my bows but can tell you this is one quick shooter. Will try to give a more involved evaluation later after I spend more time with it.

Thank you for the feedback Bill!

I am wanting to know the comparison of the ACS limbs to the Epic in the sound levels. The Epic are very quiet.
