Hmmm, I think I’d have to disagree. Since getting my Helix (thank you Simon!) I’ve found it incredibly stable in the hand, both on the draw and at full draw, and it rolls forward naturally and comfortably once the shot is completed, shot after shot after shot. I’ve got a full Beiter set up as the stabilisers (30” long rod with end cap, 4” extender, and twins), but I also have a W&W Fomax damper short rod in the top hole on the front of the riser as well – I suspect this is adding the necessary weight to make the bow roll as I follow through.

The Loesch grip it has is ever so slightly deeper than the standard Hoyt grip too, so this is possibly changing the C of G to allow it to move after the shot.

Try experimenting with a short rod in the top hole, maybe that’ll change the dynamics of the bow.
