help! making or "fixing" a bow grip
Well, I've been trying to get my 3 days a week in for practice.Got the correct stiffer arrows, fletched up with some Blazers and the bow is now truely shooting darts. But I had some consistency problems. I would cut fletchings off of a few arrows but kept getting fliers in every group. Talked to afriend of the family who is a "semi-pro bow nut" to help me out one day. He picked it right up. I was gripping the bow like I was still using my older ones with the beefy grip area so I wasn'tgetting a good consistant grip on it. NOT a problem of too tight or torque, but of inconsistant placement and set.
My main problem is the grip on my new bow (and it seems every bow I've help in the shop) is so small compared to the size of my hand it is swallowed up. Add to it that I have some dificulty with getting my wrist bent so that the grip is braced onto the ball and heel of my palm because I lost range of movement form an accident.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows how I could build up the diameter of the grip and/or shape it to make up for my problem? I was thinking foam grip tape but that doesn't seem a very good solution. Probably would have too much give and not that sturdy on wear-and-tear.
I though I saw something like "build a grip" stuff you are supposed to be able to mold, somewhere online but now I can't find it. Would that work? how well?
