So what about how off balanced this bow feels ??

I just cant get over the way this bow tips to the right, so much.

My form and grip are impecamle.

But, I find myself trying to "modify" my grip to fit the bow and its getting on my nerves.

A heavy bow that tips to the right...Hmm...I hate off center stabilizers, but I may need to get one.

That Truth 2 or Mathews DXT are looking REALLY good right about now. I'll tell ya.
Haven't shot one enough to know for sure. If it's awkward for you, I would be trying out other bows. Not every bow fits every archer. Question is, when you first purchased the bow, did you not notice how it felt and held? Or was this something that became more apparent over time?

I don't experience this at all. To me it has a tendency (like most bows I've owned) to rotate'bottom limb forward' when you shoot. I use 5 oz. of stabilizer and that seems to eliminate most of that.

Admittedly, I've got less than 100 shots on mine, so I'll pay more attention to it tonight!

Are you canting the bow? I have never experienced the General tip to the side after the shot... If anything it rocks slightly back with a light weight stabilizer on it in my experiences.

All I can do is suggest putting a level on your sight and making sure there is no cant to your anchor.


I just cannot understand how or what would make the bow tip to the side at the shotwhen it releases all of its energy forward through the arrow, as well as up and away from the bowthrough the top limb and downand away from the bow through the bottom limb.

Picture? Maybe a video of what you are talking about? I like to think I have good form, but I will take any advise from anybody willing to give it. This is the first time that I have heard of this.

I have never experienced that with the General or the Guardian. That's one of the things I really like about the center pivot bows.

They balance so well!!
