Thanks Tony, actually you must have read my mind cause I was just about to e-mail you.

Actually, I am compound shooter with roots in traditional. Years ago, I tried a wrist strap on my compound, but hated it. It was foreign to me and I actually caught myself torquing the bow with it on.

I have extremely long fingers with a large hand (not a huge hand). When I hold the bow I can actually have my fingers wrapped around the back of the bow without actually puttin gripping pressure on it at all. I have had bows fall out of my hand on occassion, but not often.

But I understand what you are saying I think; that when I have the added weight of the stabilizer on the bow, maybe there is a chance of me putting a bit more pressure in the grip without me even consciously knowing it through the shot sequence. That would make sense.

So really, in actuality, there shouldn't be a difference in the mechanical sequence of the shot whether the stailizer is on or off, correct? It would have to be more of a human effect.
