Don't take this the wrong way, but the BW longbow's I've shot weren't speed demons. Won't take an ACX to "smoke" one.
The ACX is fast, no doubt about it--one of, if not the fastest trad bows on the market. That means I could miss anywhere from 5-20fps faster.........[:@][8D]

Chad, I am in this speed kick. I got this zipper recurve which is extremely fast, and seem to be able to hit anything I point at. Best 300 dollar I spent. On my martin bows, I can't consistently hit back to 35 yards. But can with this zipper. All I was thinking was faster bow gave me less drop and more margin for error?? Alot has to do with teh handle, maybe the 60# weight gives me a cleaner release. Maybe the arrow is tuned alot better to the bow. But I am shooting a 620gr arrow at over 185fps.Cant' waitoneday to go moose hunting with this combow.My other bows are shooting 500gr arrow at 173fps.
I was going to order a BW PLX, but still scared too after your reports. I have high expectations for a $1000 bow. I do want to try one of Chek-mates Crusaders. But really want it to outperform my martins. I heard a 58# crusader really shoots fast.
I heard these ACX were fast but also possibly fagile due to their slim limb design.
