lol im sure. dont get me wrong the 82nd speed mod does have a harsh draw cycle to get the potential energy built up.....But upon release the 82nd doesnt have any handshock, well at least none that I can tell. Mind you ive been shooting bows for almost 20years..I got my first PSE fiberglass recurve when i was 6. But thats not a real bow. I have a diamon marquis, Bowtech 82nd, Bowtech Commander and just shot a new 2009 Ross Carnivore. And the reason I chose these particular bows is mainly speed accuracy noise and hand shock...And all 4 i mentioned have none...But I would let anyone shoot any bow that I own and they will all say the same thing..."This bow doesnt even jump/flich" or "did the arrow go anywhere" for the novice
