A good feeling bow is one where you hold the bow with a dead straight arm, let your bow shoulder jam up against your head for support, and then shoot with no shock or vibration. Of course some shooting postures can hurt you from the energy of your own muscles at release and draw. I should get one of those cheap shock mobiles just for the times when one of the straight arm recurve or compound guys, that think they know every thing there is know, want to try my bows. My personal bows would not work for that, they have about the same reaction as my one recurve, a Grooves Spitfire. However, I notice that most of the critics refer to feel without any reference to form. Regardless of limb shape all types of bow grips need to be held properly for that particular grip. Healing the grip works fine for longbows, but not always for pistol grips. Everyone measures their shooting by how tight the groups are at standing targets. It seems like those requirement gets transferred to what becomes a requirement to what can be called a hunting shot as well. I have shot deer on the move with recurves, I have shot quarters out of the air with recurves. Of course my recurve form is a modified Hill form, not target form. I still find that hitting quick and moving targets easier with a longbow.
