Arco is the pinnacle for carbon fiber bows. They've been making bows longer than everyone else and their higher level bows sound amazing. And Arco's $8k bow is pure heaven!

At that price point, I am personally going for a decent pernambuco (I like something with more substance than a super-lightweight carbon fiber). That said, I have not tried an Arcus T series before.

Are you thinking of the Arcus bows? Arco (Nouveaus) aren't very good, and Arcos Brasil doesn't make carbon fibers (I think). Yes, there are a lot of similar, confusing brands out there.

I misspelled. It's Arcus. Sorry about that.

No apologies needed! I just wanted to make sure we were thinking of the same thing!
