I test fired the equalizer and felt the shock you're talking about. I noticed it in the riser more than the string.

I would recommend a longer/heavier stabilizer to soak up some of that shock. I use a Doinker multi-rod and like it. I would also put on a meanv2 css. I'd put on an extra pair of limbsavers too.

Simms also makes a thin strip of their navcom rubber that you can stick on your grip/front of the riser. I'd try some of that too.

Check out cabelas...I saw where simms now has something that you can add to your limb bolts to soak up more vibration. PSEcame out with these awhile back I think.

If I buy an equalizer next year...I'll slap some of those on too. Man if that equalizer had less shock, It'd be the best bow around. (for me anyways) It just had too much shock for me when I was in the market. It's a shame you have to invest another 50-100 bucks onrubber to put on that thing to tame thevibration.

I'll try one next year maybe.
