I kind of seperate recoil away from noise and vibration. A bow that slightly jumped forward has never really bothered me. However Ive never shot one that jumped forward that much. However Ive owned some that consistently jumped forward at the shot and others that would torque to one side sometimes at the shot and that shot was usually not placed where you wanted it. So i will say that theyre are bows out there that let you know youve made a bad shot right away by the way they react and there are others that leave you saying, HUH...well that felt good, but not where i wanted it. For an example. I had a versacam cybertec a few years ago would always have a very minimal bottom jump. But felt the same whether you made a perfect placement or pulled the shot. You didnt really know youd made a bad shot untill the arrow hit the target. The bowtech justice I had kicked left everytime I made a bad shot. I suppose bows like this could actually teach the shooter a thing or two about what theyre doing wrong. In other words some bows will emmidiatly tell the shooter that they have made a mistake and others wont. But I think in the end its mostly just up to the archer. Knowing that the bow acted funny and the shot didnt feel right does you no good after the arrows released.
