I never liked the first ACS bows. Not sure why just was not my cup of tea. I never tried one since the new guys took over. I had a chance to pick up a raw unfinished A&H alloy riser. It has all the holes drilled but no pins or limb bolt bosses.

I really like the CNC pattern left from milling. Not sure which way I am going with it. Might put the limbs fixtures on it and get some A&H limbs. Might have some Warf pads put on it.

Top down. Dropping a line down the center line. It is cut passed center. I plunger hole was counter sunk it is just enough room for a springy rest

NICE GRAB Rusty - how long a riser is it?

 

[Harpman]

Looks like it would be just the ticket with some of those excellent Dryad limbs on it...Keep "US" posted on what Ya end up with.......Jim

Riser end to end is 14"

Wow nice. I know what you mean about the texture. In the white like that, it looks like its from some sci-fi future

I really like the pattern on the belly. Asymmetrical and all

Some have said they get a lot of wrist slap from the grip. The grip does suck a lot of your hand around.

A&H had a pair of 62" 35# long bow limbs that fit the riser. He also had the two bolt inserts for the riser. I'll get some advice from Mike about the 1/4 pins.

Should not be long till it is a shooter. Larry said there are some dyes you can use that dyes the alloy in case I wanted it a color.

Rusty,

I have the pins you need out here. Stop by and we'll get it shooting.

Oh man!!! Dye it!!!! The pattern would be there and it would be in color! I bet it would look like a million bucks!

Get a coat of clear on it so it doesn't oxidize and dull. Or get it anodized.

Thanks Mike. Will do.

The riser weighs 2# 1.5oz.

I got the threaded inserts in and cut limb bolts to fit. Got to call Mike to get the pins in. Limbs are 62" on 14" riser, 35#@28". ACS CX

I really like the way the riser feels. Love the cut on the sight window. Someone mentioned that I need to clear coat the riser to keep it from oxidizing???

I got a steel rod the right size. Cut the pins off with an angle grinder. Rounder the edges on the ends and epoxied them in place.

That is gonna be one heck of nice little pig/rabbit bow.

From a middle finger C jawbone anchor my 17 yard aiming index is the first break in the transition curve in the sight window with an 8.4 gpi arrow. Perfect!

That's pretty sexy

I indicated the area on the riser for a middle finger anchor you would hunt from. Hunting with a short sight I usually use a cheek bone anchor. That moves every thing down the sight window and opens up the view of the target.
