Odd...I've owned 2 BW LAG's (the older model longbow), have shot prolly a dozen or so others, & there was no notable handshock in any of em. They weren't great performing bows, & the grip didn't fit me too good, so that's prolly a couple reasons why I don't still have em. A budd of mine shot an LAG (75# @ 28") for several yrs &won the Ky IBO State Championship 3 years running w/it. About the same time I had a run of wins at the same shoot in the recurve division w/my MA II. We both killed lots of game w/our BW'stoo, so I reckon you could say that BW bows have been very very good to us two yahoos.

Maybe my history w/ BW bows is partly why they'll always be very dear to me.
