    this is my first new bow new to shooting really i shot about 100 arrows with my friends bow before deciding to buy this and was shooting somewhat close groups with that
    i just bought a mission craze got it set at 63 pounds of pull and when i shoot the bow it rolls back like crazy like shooting a hand gun i guess you could say, idk if it is something i am doing or something with the bow? i even bought a longer heavier stabilizer but it still does it ......... but can pick up my friends bow and shoot a consistant group...
    just curious what could cause this
    thanks

    That is the nature of some cams on some bows. I've never shot a Craze so I can't speak to it directly. Stabilizer weight will off set some roll but then it gets to being to much to comfortably carry and shoot.

    That bow tends to be top heavy and after the shot it rolls back like you say, quite a bit. You can get a stabilizer to offset that. get yourself one in the 8-12" range and fairly heavy. This will counter balance that and help quite a bit. you will probably find that you can hold steadier as well.
