Do the majority of you even know what "Handshock" is? What is it?Seriously....... Is it recoil? Is it vibration?
It's an overrated made up term that is simply a product of bow geometry combined with energy output and in reality will be felt in varying degrees by all shooters anyway because we all grip a bow slightly differently.
Has nothing to do with how accurate a bow is or can be.
MY definition of hand shock is how much the bow wants to "jump out of my hand" when I shoot it. That may not have anything to do w/ accuracy DIRECTLY, but mentally it does. If I'm shooting a bow that I'm worried will jump out of my hand, I'm not gonna hit diddly squat.
I agree that it will not be eliminated completely, and the way we grip our bow will have an impact on that.
You and Rick James certainly know what you're talking about. You guys have FAR more experience w/ that than I, so when you guys speak I listen. I'm just not sure I agree with you 100% on this one.
