You need to tune it
I tuned it myself and there's no hand shock now. Smooth and quiet.
My AM35 had a little hand shock when I picked it up and it didn't feel much better than my old Ultra Max, but it also had a 2" right nock tear. Guess the dealer had a fat laser when he installed the rest.It all depends on the bow. A shop bow that had been shot a lot was really bad, but the rest of the AM35's I shot this week were just like my 32's Dead, no shock.
I think even an Elite will have a bit of shock or vibration if it's not in tune.
