I just can't imagine where you guys are getting this [&:]. The first thing I did when I got it out of the box, I held it out in front of me and said to myself, "Good grief this thing is top heavy." As soon as I left go of the riser and held it as I was shooting it, it would about rotate down out of my hand. Once again, just my opinion, but I will say the Hoyt does balance better Kyle.
