i shoot bendy handles most times, dont grip tight, its more of a push away from you with meaty part of your thumb/palm with fingers just barely keeping the bow in position.and drawing with your other hand.on release you grasp the bow so it dont flying away from ya.it happens naturaly. thats how ive done it for years. never felt hand shock like that.unless i grasp the middle of the bow tight.Tony

IMHO...the tiller was and is good now too. Hand shock is pretty subjective.
What are you comparing it too?

Thanks guys   ;D
George I was comparing it to my other bendy handle bows ;D I'm only just now making my second stiff handle bow :o
The hand shock I think I have decided came from the washer on my tillering string once I made a proper string for it the handshock became what I expect from a bendy ;)
