Question for the coach
I know there's an archery coach that posts here occasionally and I have a grip problem for you. I shoot a Mathews MQ1 that I dearly loved except for the grip. Since the aftermarket one's were outrageous, I modified the original. I reduced the wood down to approx. 1/4" all the way around made the heel almost flat. I was pleased with the results and was shooting 2" groups at 40 ydsfor awhile. Then I started having problems ocassionally pulling arrows left and I wondered if I've overdone the low wrist thing and magnifying inconsistency in bow hand/arm torque.(My wrist produces a pretty sharp angle between my hand and bow arm at full draw) I would have thought this would produce vertical "stringing" if anything, but this hasn't been a problem. The problem is predictably worse in the mountains where I hunt so much so that I run my pin 2 clicks out up there and back in when I get home, but I can't thing of any rational explanation for that. I have a Mathews improved factory grip, but it just feels "fat" now. By the way, I may get a new bow next year I was wondering who, in your opinion, made the best grips for those who prefer low wrist and narrow as possible. I even used to shoot a Hoyt Alpha-Tec off the riser because I learned the hard way that the most comfortable grip isn't always the most accurate.
