I put absolutely no stock in the handshock of a bow.All bows today have very little handshock.

I can usually tell if I like a bow as soon as I pull it back,I DO NOT need to shoot it.The way the wall feels and the way the bow holds and balances at full draw are all that matter to me out of a hunting bow.How quiet the bow is is important for hunting but most all top end bows are quiet as well.

In a target bow,I actually prefer a little forward lunge.
