Default RE: What makes a bow stable and shootable?

Well, at least 3 people have found the Havoc to be a good shooter for a short bow. I can't help but think the minimal riser reflex is part of the equation there, and the 8+ inch brace. I have had single cams in the past that have seemed to "throw" shots at times, but perhaps I was not consistent enough with back tension.

I know a lot of you seem to like the bows with a lot of reflex in the riser so the limbs can be angled to cut the recoil. I haven't owned one yet that seemed to be forgiving for me at least. I seem to do well with a fairly straight riser for some reason. One of the easiest bows for me to shoot well had a long, straight riser, only 7" brace, a force draw that I really didn't like all that much, and may have been the fastest bow I ever owned. It still shot great. Never should have sold it, and may have to try to get another some day.[:@]
