My last bow was A Reflex Grizzly and I also had a nasty tear I could not tune out. I eventually took off the molded plastic 2 pc grip that it came with and "BINGO" instant bullets. Grip is that important. I hate to say it but maybe that bow is just not the right one for you. I would not give up yet but you have to live with it not me. One size does not always fit all.
