Title: New ACS arrived Finally! with Pics
Post by: Bjorn on March 13, 2007, 08:00:00 PM
UPS dropped this off less than 1 hour ago! Last week I fletched some arrows for it while waiting-wanted the bow to get a special welcome.

It is everything and then some!

It is 49# and 62". The arrows are cedar total weight 630 grains and they fly.....like arrows-not darts! LOL! I am most impressed with the bows out of the box user friendliness-nothing to it! Set the brace, nock, silencers  and Bingo! Shoot some arrows.....smooth and dead quiet! But nothing is perfect--the limbs are ugly black--they will look great with some snake!

Hey Bjorn, do you normally shoot that weight? Or did you drop down for this bow? I ask because it seems like most of the adcocks are pretty low weight and I'm wondering why. I realize that the limbs are very efficient, but why not shoot your normal weight and cash in on the efficiency?

I like your riser! Never seen that choice of wood in an ACS.
Just usually see the 'stock' bows....nice; and thanks for showing.
Guess those arrows are a tad heavy.

It's a beauty and I'll bet that since you like it now, the more you shoot it, the more you'll love it. Trust me.

I have been shooting Fedoras and Morrisons 3-5# heavier, so I can feel that this is lighter, there is no difference in arrow speed, and the arrow weight is just fine for this bow too.
I have another ACS coming later this month in a Bubinga riser, don't know the final weight yet, but it will be a tad heavier than this one. My son shoots trad too, so he is the excuse for having to have two of these bows-good thing I planned ahead he was 9 when I got on the list!! LOL!

did i miss where you said the bow wood? is it osage and phenolic? that is one of the nicest acs bows i have seen, and i think the black limbs go awesome with the black/yellowish riser.

I see from your picture that you are not keeping all of your arrows in the 10 rings. You had better send it to me strait away for adjustments. Ha!
Nice bow!

Bjorn, glad to hear you got your new ACS. Are you going to be at the BHU meet Saturday with it? If so, see you then. Jim

Great looking bow.  I was also wondering why so many of the acs's are soo light.  Enjoy it and post an update when you break her in.

Great color combo. I like the way the black limb glass sets off the riser.
Title: Re: New ACS arrived Finally! with Pics
Post by: Bjorn on March 14, 2007, 12:13:00 PM
The riser is black F/G and Osage; it turned out even better than I had thought. It does appear to be true that many of the early ACS bows are coming out light. Although the one that Danny Rowan has I think is 60#-must be a cannon! 49# is the weight range I asked for, and it is quite impressive with a medium weight hunting arrow (650g).

Beachbowhunter, I suppose its ok if Bjorn hunts with you this weekend, but he needs to leave the ACS with ME for the weekend so I can try it out at the club shoot.  Jim

Hey Bjorn, You are bringing it to Choppers right It would be a long drive back home just to pick it up and bring it back just so we all can hold it once. ;)

See it, I mean you there.
