RE: Disadvantages of parallel limb technology?
OK, I can see your point if you are talking about a significant amount of recoil. I remember putting 3 shots inside an inch group at 30 yards with my old Jennings Carbon Extreme several times, but if I shot very many groups, things would fall apart. That baby would put a hurtin' on your bow shoulder!
Maybe my nerves/brain are too burnt out to notice the difference. I just don' t notice much difference in recoil between the bows I have owned, and the lowest recoil ones weren' t the most accurate (for me). The lowest recoil bows I have owned would probably be 1. Mathews Q2 XL, 2. Mathews MQ1, 3. (real close) McPherson 38 Special, 4. Firebrand Discovery, 5. Bowtech Pro 38 DC. At least for me, the Bowtech can shoot rings around the other 4, especially if you are talking about worst shots in a group.
