I prefer zero shock which ultimately leads to better accuracy,....theoretically anyways.
On what planet does that theory apply?Here on Earth the arrow is gone before the hand shock hits. (Just giving ya a hard time, but that is a common misconception.) A shooting machine will split arrow after arrow of bows with wicked hand shock. The arrow is gone before the bow recoils. It's a matter of the archer anticipating and reacting to the recoil before it even happens that degrades the shot, not the recoil itself. Same with heavy hitting rifles, and I know heavy hitting rifles...
Rob does bring up a good point though and that is that although accuracy is not compromised, with heavy recoil there also comes more noise. In this case though we're not talking about heavy recoil, we're just talking about slightly more perceived recoil from one than another.
Couldnt have said it any better...
You sound like you know what you have felt, now make the decision after you go shoot the piss outta them some more. Shoot them until you know which one you like better. I had to shoot the AM35 and the BT Captain about 40times a piece before i could decide. If a shop wont let you do that, then go to a different one
How off were the draws of the bows? From what ive felt after shooting the DXT numerous times and owning an AM, the DXT had more shock to me. Maybe its just me[&:]
Either way, just pick the one you honestly like better. Not which one people here or anywhere else prefer. You will be happier in the long run.
