ACS bows

[Bjorn]

Vermonster, so you're saying I would not have to take all those pics and list any of my bows in the classifieds or on the auction site and you would still give me a dollar?
What about shipping? PayPal cash transfer?

[vermonster13]

I'll even cover shipping to help you out. I'm not without a heart you know. I have Pay-Pal.    :D

vermonster
which bow has a smoother pull the swan or ACS?

[vermonster13]

I own both at the same weight. The Swan is quieter, draw is very similar feeling, I like the ACS grip a little more since my hand injury and my Swan is a little faster and deader in the hand. The bows are very close across the board in everything but sound, not that the ACS is loud, the Swan I have is called Spooky for a reason though. It is the quietest bow I've ever owned at this point.

Actualy the C in ACS stands for "Adcock Cross Section". The CX is the carbon Extreme, or at least that was what I was told by OL.

[Lenny Stankowitz]

You are correct Pat.

I've got two (41#@28", 45#@28") I draw 29" so I'm getting so I get about 3 more lbs from each. My name came up about a week ago and I had them take me off the list.  I had thought I would sell my 41# CX and get another a little heavier, but I have changed my mind and grown to really like the 41# bow.

[vermonster13]

Yup you're right Pat. I used the wrong C.

My name came up back in May. I thought long and hard and just could not justify the cost. I have shot a few and was not overly impressed. Nice bows but I can buy two used bows that perform darn close and look better for the price of one. I would buy a Centaur before one of the ACS as I liked the way the ones I shot performed and shot better for me.Shawn

I have both an 3 pieced TD ACS CX and had a 3 piece TD Swan.  The Swan had a metal riser and the ACS has an ebony riser.  Both seem dead in the hand.  My ACS is very slightly faster and quieter than the Swan.  

The fit and finish on both bows is excellent.  I sold the Swan and still have the ACS.  Also ordered a heavier set of limbs for the ACS.  And my name has come up on OL's list.  He is making me another 3 piece TD.  

IMO, it boils down to a personal preference between those 2 bows.

[vermonster13]

The newest Swan limbs are a step-up though OL has told me he has a few surprises in the works himself.

I just got the email confirmation my # is coming up at A&H...deposit goes in today for a 4month delivery date.

The 2 wood handle 3pc CX's I've shot in the past 6 months were the best longbows I've ever shot.

"deposit goes in today for a 4month delivery date."

You guys gotta stop that,some of us have been waiting a tad longer than that,just a tad mind you

[wtpops]

My deposit went in about 3 weeks ago ive got about 3 months to go. Huumm sounds like the end of Dec. going to be a good Xmas.

[JC]

Swamp, been on that list for a while...they are just now taking my deposit.

I assume you haven't been on the list with A&H for too long....are you talking about OL's list? Cuz I know that one is a bit beyond 4 months   :rolleyes:

I own 2 ACS/CX's. One for me and one for my wife. Had 3 sets of limbs, 45,50,and 54 pounds. One riser Kingwood and the other Ebony. Beautifully built extremely fast bows. No hand shock at all. The only problem I have had is that the bows seem to be subject to heel pressure. In a 5 arrow group at 20 yards, I would sometimes have one arrow over a foot higher than the others. I have never shot longbows before only recurves. Because of this, I don't think that it is entirely the fault of the bow. I just recently sold my wife's bow(the Kingwood)with the 50 pound limbs. I kept the Ebony riser and the 45 and 54 pound limbs for myself. I would by another one in a minute if I didn't already have one. If you are a longbow shooter, you can't go wrong with an ACS. I'm looking forward to what OL is developing for the future.

Richie Nell,

I have owned an ACS CX built by OL a couple of years ago and currently own e Black Widow PLX longbows.  I sold the ACS and still have the Black Widows.  I like the feel and shootability of the Black Widows much more than the ACS, however it is a personal thing.  You need to try both and decide for yourself.

[Bob Miller]

own 3 PLX

Dave,

The C in ACS stands for Cross as in Adcock Cross Section.  The C for carbon comes from CX, and the X stands for eXtreme, although it could mean the carbon is on the eXterior of the limbs rather than sandwiched between laminations or under glass.
