ASLs and hand shock;

[Flem]

I try to get the "pivot" point dead center in the heel of my palm, right where the wrist naturally pivots. Don't know about symmetrical limb ASL's (handshock), but a true Hill style will have asymmetrical limbs and sometimes asymmetrical riser, which facilitate the balance point centering on the handle.

Thanks Flem,

  I should probably shift further technical questions to the bowyers gallery, and start a different thread and do a drawing.

  What you just described would explain why some archers get more kick than others depending on the pressure point location on the riser.   Comparing one ASL design to another would take us down a rabbit hole I don't want to enter.
