OK guys, as a few of you have requested, here are a few pictures of my new OL Adcock Bow. It is the new ACS model. The riser on the bow is gaboon ebony with black stripes, the overlays are made of Chakte Kok, it has a locator grip with a palm swell, tonkin cane limbs with carbon, and black glass. The bow is 66" and pull 56# at 31" .
And here is my ugly mugg........
Let me know what you guys think (and I don' t , mean my mugg..).

Bob, I' ve also got a new Adcock ACS. It' s the one that Norb Mullaney tested recently. 64" 51#@28" (altho marked 53#@28" ). Dymonwood Cocobolo riser, actionboo with carbon limbs and black glass. It' s a screamer. Chrono' d 454gr 2016s at 201fps. Seems to love 65# 23/64 cedar arrows cut to 28" with 125gr points. The only problem is I' ve had to lower my aiming point about 6" at 20yrds, this thing shoots so flat.
Your knees, sir.... they' re every bit as ugly as mine!
Gee Art, thanks for noticing. They only come out for public pictures posted on the internet, and then they really shine for me.
Yes, I am very impressed with shootability of this bow. This is actually the first stick bow that I have owned that doesn' t stack up on me with my long draw, what a nice change for me. Speed seems very nice.
Floxter - sounds like a great bow. How long of a wait did you have? Took me 18 months. I actually ordered his regular design longbow, this was before the ACS started coming out. So, I guess I had to just settle for an ACS (HeHeHe).

That' s a great looking bow.
My Trails End I have on order will have an African Blackwood riser with Bloodwood stripe and accects.
Black and red is a natural combination and goes great together.
You have one of the best, if not the best, Longbows.
Congratulations.
Congrats Bob! I know the feeling with the long draw and all--used to think I have to have a 68" -70" bow. Bet it' s a great shooter!

Bob nice bow....if you are drawing 31" You must have 34-5" arrows because it looks like 3-4" of shaft sticking out infront of the bow at full draw. You shooting extra long shafts intentionally?
Hi Jim, Yes, my arrow is uncut at 34" in that picture, I am also using a 175 grain field tip that is about 1 1/2" long (around there anyway). When the picture was taken, the bow was not tuned yet.
Sagittarious, sounds like an awesome bow, maybe we should get the two of them together sometime. who knows what might happen, they' d probably have some real nice looking children.....
Here is another picture of the riser. Didn' t turn out that great though. I' m an amature when taking digital pictures. I think that my wife and I will have to get one for Christmas this year though. They seem aweful nice. The top part reads " Custom Built by OL Adcock" .

When OL gets back from his moose hunt I think I am next in line (or close to it) for mine to be built. Ebony riser, white overlayw/strips/tips - all black and white bow, 56# @ 28" targeted weight.
I hunted with an ACS - shot one for about 6 weeks and yes, they are super shooting bows. Faster by 10-15 fps over other bows of same weight using same arrow. Compared to my old style Adcock longbow the ACS shoots to the right - rather the arrows go farther to the right - I am thinking this is due to a more center shot design ? Anyway, switching between the two was tough - its like the ACS shoots like a recurve, has the speed of a recurve but is quiet and shock free like a longbow.
