Joe,

Don't know how long you've been shooting, but back in the 70's and early 80's this used to be the norm. The grip was in the vertical center of the bow and the rest was mounted higher. About 1 1/2".

Maybe this is why we run an uneven tiller with the bottom being about 1/4" less than the top.

What I can remember from those days is that the bows balanced better, both on my belt hook and at full draw. I think they aimed better, too just because of the difference in balance. They weren't so top heavy. Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that most risers were straight or deflexed, whoo knows. It's too far back and I wasn't as educated as I am today.
