Question about bow balance & steadiness
I am curious about something, my mathews Q2 broke a limb and is in for warranty. I borrowed a friends bow, which happens to be a nicely equipped Fred Bear and while I am shooting ok, the thing that stands out is how much more difficultly I am having holding the bow steady. His bow is about 6-8 yrs old and has a split limb design and shoots pretty good but I don't understand why i struggle so much to make a smooth and steady shot.
I hestitate to mention the brand b/c my point is not about my mathews being better or the other being a lesser bow but rather seeking input on what would cause it to feel so unsteady to me. I did add my stabilizer to his bow, the same one i use on my Q2 but I don't get the same effect. Anyway, I can't wait to get my bow back, partly b/c i am used to it but it does feel so much smoother to me and my confidence is much higher.
