Whats the bow look like at full draw? Ive been told stiff tips are the foremost reason for handshock, or a bow that shivers while shooting hunting weight arrows, a result of over burdened mid-limbs. How bout a pic at full draw?

What style was the bow shot in with, split or 3 under, what draw lenght? What grip? Doesnt all that matter on selfbows one person makes, and then someone else shoots? Or was it taylor made to your style, customized...?

thanks guys for all the responses , I have 2 Owls and one has no handshock while the new one did . I called Ed and we tried a few diffrent things to make it better but we decided it had to do with me shooting the bow 3 under throwing the timming off , it also had right much thicker limb tips than my other Owl . Ed had me send that bow back and is building me a new bow custom to my stlye of draw .The new bow was one he had in stock and shot great split with no vibration but it did not like 3 under at all but shot accurate both ways  just had the vibration 3 under . Ill probally sell my used Owl as its a little heavy for me and my new Owl thats being built should be just right   :thumbsup:
