So 'Pro Comp' is the 'modern day' ACC. I'm not sure many improving archers who want to upgrade from their £50 set of allys will want to fork out £240 for a set of arrows only available in 1 doz sets.It's discussed in this podcast if you're interested:

No, Cartel Triples are close to Pro Comp money, but possibly... although before this announcement it was 12 months away, maybe the R&D will be speeded up now.So 'Pro Comp' is the 'modern day' ACC. I'm not sure many improving archers who want to upgrade from their £50 set of allys will want to fork out £240 for a set of arrows only available in 1 doz sets.
I don't keep up to speed with other manufactures. Is there an alternative a/c shaft at about the £11 price point?
They've increase the spine range of the Pro Comp and it's now available in spines from 250 to 1150The problem also is that Pro-Comp only go down to 570 spine, and are really designed for Compound use as described by Easton.
The hunting market is seriously (and I mean considerably) larger than the target market. The NFAA did a report on archery in the US and some states had +1,000,000 bowhunters in them. You look at some of the big compound bow manufacturers such as Hoyt, Mathews, Prime... they list more hunting bows than target bows because that is where the majority of the archery market is.I'd be more convinced of their argument regarding having to manufacture so many variations of the ACC, if they didn't make 8 variations of the FMJ hunting arrow.
Oh I know, when I worked in the USA I shot as a member of a couple of clubs, out of more than a hundred archers I was one of very few pure target shooters and in fact the only one shooting an Oly recurve. The vast majority only shot target and 3D as practice for hunting. They couldn't understand the concept that bow hunting was illegal in the UK.The hunting market is seriously (and I mean considerably) larger than the target market.

It looks more like the procomp is the modern day ACG. Same diameter, same spine, slightly reduced straightness tolerance.So 'Pro Comp' is the 'modern day' ACC.

This is an old "belief" unsupported by much of anything. Early estimates counted each hunting license sold as a hunter, which is clearly an overestimate. The ATA has done extensive, nationwide surveys in the recent past that show that the numbers of target archers is larger than the number of bowhunters (many do both, so count them as each). I argue that target archers spend more on archery equipment than bowhunters do. (Think about the kinds of release aids used, sight scopes, even arrows.) Hunters spend a great deal of money on clothing, camping gear, ancillaries (deer stands, etc.), hunting tags, travel, etc. but on strictly archery gear, not as much as target archers do. There are more retailers set up to serve "outdoorsmen" but they don't sell much archery gear either.They've increase the spine range of the Pro Comp and it's now available in spines from 250 to 1150
