After getting my first ACS longbow years ago, OL Adcock talked to me about entering a TD longbow limb into the Olympic freestyle market ... and after shooting his ACS, I knew he was definitely on to something. Well, at long last it's starting to become an exciting reality.

The back brace (ala Hoyt Aerotec) is going to disqualify it for any FITA Barebow event, like FITA Field. That would be a major problem for the European market but I doubt if Adcock will care since FITA Field is not very popular here in the States.

I hope he markets the limbs with ILF fittings instead of dedicated fittings. I'd love to try them on some of my FITA risers. And I question why his risers are so short? Seems like the sight window would be too small for 90m with light limb poundage.

Yes, the ACS CX limbs with ILF fittings will become available.

O.L. is that riser legal for all target compettion?
Iseem to recall that the Hoyt strut style riser been banned in some shoots because of riser width size?

Redbow, Just the FITA/NAA barebow from what I understand. "Technically" it's legal in IBO longbow class but I'd imagine the crying would be deafing! We haven't been putting much time into them the last few months but picking back up now with a 20" version which will have plenty of sight window for a low anchor at 18 meter ranges. Fussing over the grip area mostly and trying to figure out some quirks we're seeing, like going from a 14" hunting riser to the 18" Apogee with the same limbs and the draw weight not changing!?? Same limb pad angle.... Rod Jenkins who's been shooting one of the 18"'s is seeing right at 200fps at 9gr/lb@28" with fingers out of his with a 68" total length......O.L.
