Do more weight at handle reduce vibration at shot?

(1/3) > >>

Juan Ant. Espinosa:
I use to make deep handles but at the same time I make them thin.At the last one that  helped me to steam it and properly center the string.
But I´ve notice (or maybe it´s just a false sensation) that when I was shooting it while ending with the tillering process, still with fat handle, the bow was vibrating a little less.
Do you think it makes any sense?.

Del the cat:
Yes

Juan Ant. Espinosa:
Thanks for your Answer, Del.
I´ll try to change my handles adding more weight.

RyanY:
While that is true, if you are having a concerning level of vibration/hand shock for an average bow, the issue is more likely with another aspect of the bow like the tiller or mass distribution.

Selfbowman:
Yes Ryan I agree. Keep the mid limb out as light as possible for fast smooth bows.
