Definitely overpriced and has been for years. Hand shock is over hypedit is good and all but realistically myMathews Q2 shoots just fine.

i don't like a lot of rattlin' going on at the shot, but i need the bow to jump a bit - like matt and tfox and some others have said. i want to know what the bow wants to do. i don't know how i'd finish setting one up w/out it.

My feeling on it is a resounding yes! This is something that was hardly if ever discussed until the last few years. I'm not saying it isn't a valid concern. It is nice to shoot a bow that's dead in the hand, but for me, the lack of handshock is pretty far down the list of what is important in selecting a bow. I mean jeez folks. It's a bow. It's not like we are out there trying to tame a .338 mag.

What say you?
.
Say I, What brought this rise in temperature on? What's made you get heated up?:eek:

It's just the evolution ofthe "buy what feels best" recommendation.

I don't care for any vibration so I'd say no it's not over hyped, over priced, yes!

There's some truth in the Harley analogy. When I had one there was a brief period of time when it purred. It had perfect rhythm at idle, bump pada bump pada bump. It was a beautiful thing. Smooth rider and powerful. I'd say a smooth shooting bow is the same way, aint wasting one bit of what it can give.[8D]

I dont think the harley analogy works at all, those things arent smooth nor powerful ever! I think its a horrible comparison to a bow.

PS. Just ribbin ya!
