RE: Who wins bow of the year?
Great point. I should not have omitted that bow from my post. I haven't shot it left handed, but was able to draw it. I did shoot it right handed, but had to drop the weight to 53 lbs. It has a stiff draw cycle so you know where it's speed is coming from, but not harsh. It's kind of like the Guardian in that it feels heavy. That speed can't be argued with though. It is FAST. Surprisingly little hand shock for how fast it is.It isfairly quiet too for a speed bow. I'm not a fan of the grip, but you can get side plates for it and that is completely subjective. Did I mention that it's fast?
I have to make asmall addendum here, when I shoot bows right handed I feel that I notice vibration and shock more than when I am shooting left handed because having my left hand as my bow hand is unnatural to me. I have shot the same model bow in both left and right handed (07 Allegiance) and was able to feel more vibration when shooting right handed than left (although I did feel some with both). So I may notice some vibration in bows shot right handed that righties might not notice. If that is the casethe vibration or shockis probably so small it is insignificant.
