Default RE: Grip is Key

Goodadvice about finding the neutral torque zone of the bow's grip!It's such an automatic thing with me when I pick up a bow, either one I haven't shot in a long time or one I've never shot, that I'd plumb forgot I do it. [&:]

A lot of pistol grip are terrible for low torque, unless you use only the area between the thumb and forefinger. That kind of high wrist grip is not really good technique any more, unless you have a high wrist grip on the bow too, and even then it's out of favour.
I find that passing odd, also.... The high wrist for recurve shooters was highly regarded back then. Actually, much more so than low wrist is today. Maybe that was because of how many bowhunters also shot field archery with their recurves, and practically everybody that shot targets used high wrist.
