My bud had a Jerry Hill 45# and it was not as shocky as others but it was a dog even for a longbow speed wise.
The Bear and Martin stuff i shot would have been better used as firewood. Messed w tunes, and arrows.....they were horrid.
Worst though was a 66# Ol Ben.
Refused to shoot an 80# Hill. Drew to 28". That was bad enough LOL. Guys said take it out and shoot......i was concerned my teeth would rattle loose.
I remembered how that 66# BP was.
Recurves. Take downs of some riser mass/ weight.
Blackwidow seems to work best for me.
Have never tried one of their longbows.
They do have a " test drive " program FWIW.
