« on: October 07, 2007, 07:39:00 PM »

Thanks everyone!

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

There is no hand shock that I can notice.  This is the smoothest, fastest and most forgiving bow I've found so far.

Mountain Tool21 I have a 64" 54 @28 love the bow  got it from a Trad. member two months ago, a week later I got the call from A&H and I order another one a little heavier, they really are one of a kind long bow, no hand shock, the only noise I hear is the carbon arrow coming off the rest. They are light in weight so I added a four arrow bow quiver, to help stablizes the bow a little. I have to agree with every one eles they are a little pricey, but every one has to pay the bills,I think you will like it, shoot it and give it some time  :thumbsup:

I just got mine and I must say, it is the most forgiving long bow I have shot. Workmanship is excellent. No handshock, not even a hint of it. A set of Wooly whisperer's and it is SILENT. My ACS CX is 62" and 47lbs @ 28". It flat out smokes an Axis arrow!!!!! I am so pleased with it, I ordered a second set of limbs. You won't be disappointed.

Best bow I have ever owned or shot.  I also have a quiver on mine and like the added weight.  Quiet, fast and I love the grip!  Mine is 64" and 49#@28".  I would like another one 62" and 55#@28", but will have to hold off until after I get my one piece from O.L.  then maybe one of the new 16" riser ACS CX's will find its way under the ole Christmas tree!

Just got one, too, and am still getting used to it.  The preload in the limbs is a little distracting for me, as I like a bow that build poundage a bit more smoothly.  They aren't the prettiest bows, and the finish could be a little nicer (it's okay, but most other bows I've had have been much nicer).  I personally don't find it forgiving, but that's me.  No handshock.  Grip is a little small.

It is fairly quiet, and pretty fast, but I'm just not sure it's what I'm looking for.  I'll give it some time.  But, as you can see, alot of people love them, so I could just be missing something!

Mark  I will agree with you about the preload some, it does stack pretty fast after 28" but I pull alittel over 27" as for looks they are not the prettiest bow, but I like the clean look of it, as for the grip I shot wheel bows for a while and I like the smaller grip. As with all the bows out there, it's not for every one.  :thumbsup:

Larry, I agree.   I just went outside and shot it, and I was consistently hittling a beer can from 15 to 30 yards.  What's that about? I need to learn what it wants from me, I guess.  It is a nice bow.  It's just making me work.   :)    :rolleyes:

What about comparing the Black Widow long bow to the ACS CX?  I have never owned either one but I would like to hear from someone who has.

Thanks alot

I have 2 of them (my wife thinks the second one belongs to my 14 year old, come to think of it he does too........) this is the only bow I shoot now and my accuracy and confidence are way up.
These days lots of top bows are 1200 and more. The ACS is a good value; smooth, fast and great to look at. I dropped 7 pounds in bow weight going from 56+ down to 49. Love the bow. One big negative is that my other bows are now very pedestrian by comparison.

Great responses from all of you. A couple more questions; one, is the grip medium or high? Can the guys at ACS make a medium to high grip? second, do the limbs have carbon in them? Thanks again

Thats what the C in ACS stands for Carbon. The grip is a medium, Larry can tell you if they'll do any others yet.

You're awesome my friend. What would you prefer a black swan hybrid or this ACS longbow?

Both are excellent bows. Which you prefer is what matters.
