Ok ………… I’ll assume that a tin-foil hat isn’t the solution.
Interesting; Since the heavier Bear doesn’t cause a problem we can probably rule out excessive weight.
So …………… One thing that I can think of is ‘possibly’ the grip is slightly different on the self bow causing you to tense different muscles, tightening up the back of the neck, causing the head-ache.
Another thought is that a self bow might have a bit more hand shock causing the brain housing group to rattle.
One last thought; (and I’m way over my daily limit) I firmly believe that there is a ‘panache’ factor in the bows we shoot. This goes beyond the spec sheet with feet per second and all of that. Sometimes a bow just feels ‘right’ and sometimes it doesn’t. The ones that don’t go back on the rack to be tried again later. If they still don’t bond, they find a new owner. I once sold a name brand bow to a guy in the club and the ungrateful clod actually tried to outshoot me with it. He loved that bow that didn’t do much for me.
A wise man once said “Life’s too short to dance with a cranky bow” (or something like that)
