I have had Hill style bows that had more kick than others. If you have a standard Hill as available today with a modern string, shoot with a slightly bent bow arm, heal the bow if it is a standard grip and shoot 9 grains per pound or more, the hand shock will be nothing to worry about or hardly even noticeable. The five Hill style bows I am shooting now, three have B50 strings and two a fast flight. None of them have much hand shock even with the B50 string, I use the fast flight because it allows me to use a slightly stiffer arrow.
