I'll admit, I'm a beginner, I've shot 3 times in front of a retail salesperson.... Cabela's, Bass Pro, and Scheels. All of them knew that I was a beginner and had pointers for me, but it was only the Cabela's guy that said anything about the grip on the bow. He had me hold the bow so that I had little, if any, finger grip. He was happy when I had the fingers not resting on the bow. The other 2 places, I choked the crap out of the bow, that thing wasn't getting away Which, I'm sure is incorrect, choking it, that is. So my question is.... What is the proper way to grip the bow? And are there several different ways to grip it, like golf for example?? Also, I'm more of a visual person, so if anyone has illistrations, that would be best, otherwise type SLOW, so I can understand you. lol
