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...
See I don't agree. You are FEELING shock AFTER your arrow is gone, but that shock actually occurs upon release, what do you think causes any noise at all? it's the vibration. You are talking about anticipating the noise from the shot. Noise is caused by vibration. Vibration causes loss in accuracy. I thought that was pretty commonly known.
