ACC vs. ACE
GrrnArrow
recurve(46lb with 28 inch arrow) and have had good performance with the acc's
I shoot, but am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade. I mainly shoot
nfaa field/hunter/animal rounds and 900 rounds outdoors(40/50/60 yards) and
maybe once or twice a year a FITA round and am wonder if I would see a big
improvement with the different arrows. Once I am back into shape, I plan to
shoot more FITA style shoots. Thanks in advance for any comments.

You will definately notice a difference at 90m ( well everyone that I know
who have swaped from ACC to ACE's has), and you may even get an additional
gain from X10's if you can afford them.
Leave the ACC's for the field shoots ( <70M)

Yes. Absoulutely. No question. Get them.
You won't find a single top recurve FITA shooter using ACCs, and there's a reason
for it. ACE's are far superior for that purpose.

unforgiving are the X10s? I am an advanced shooter. I have been told by
others that the X10s are a easy/forgiving arrow. I can shoot at the level of
the top shooters in my state. I am looking for an arrow that can help put
me over the top. Would it be worth trying the X10s? I realize that the
arrow itself cannot gain me any points but better arrows will help. Also I
need to get arrows that are spined properly at my draw. The ones I am
shooting are definately too light. I am thinking of 450 X10s. I have a
30"draw and right now I am shooting 45# at the clicker. Do you think this
would be a good choice.

A friend has just got some and is extoling the virutues of the X10's over
ACE's. A bit of a B(*&(er for me as I have just set up 2 doz ACE's

If you are an advanced archer and understand how to tune your setup,
then you shouldn't have any serious problems getting your X10s
shooting well.
Are they forgiving? I'm not sure how to measure this, but anecdotally
I had no problems shooting them, and I was often surprised by where
the shot landed given a less than perfect (often much less than
perfect) shot execution.
Will the X10s make a difference? Who knows.
Lots of top shots use X10s. Lots of top shots still use ACEs.
Unfortunately the best way to find out is to try it yourself. You
won't know whether X10s are better than ACEs unless you try them both
and experiment with the tuning.
Here's where being sponsored (or being rich) is really handy. After
consulting with the experts at Easton, you could get several dozen
arrows of various sizes and types and try them out. That's the only
way to know for sure.
You might also consider the CT McKinney's. They are new enough that
there aren't that many folks shooting them, so the collected
experience is small. However the results seem promising, at least
that's what the folks at CT say. They are also less expensive.
Good luck.
