but if its comfortable and no torque issues...
Actually, high wrist grip is much less prone to torque than low wristbecause there is so little hand contact.

It was 'the most widely preferred' grip style for many, many years, until the hellishly low brace height speed bows of the mid-90's came along. Low wrist was the only way to shoot those things, because it was the only way to get the wrist and forearm out of the string's way. Now that those ultra low brace bows have gone the way of the dinosaur, we're still stuck with the low wrist grip. Needlessly stuck with it.

It might behoove a whole lot of folks who are having trouble with bow torque to follow Doegirl's example and experiment with high wrist.
Good Post Arthur!!! I switched to a more "high wrist" grip a couple years ago, and groups GOT much tighter due to LESS torquing.


Doegirl,
Looks pretty good from what I saw. Some people's "mechanics" don't have to be absolutely perfect to still result in a "good" shot either. Heck, I'm a LEFTY who shoots right-handed because of a bad shoulder and having such bad mechanics that I decided 17 yrs ago to SWITCH. Eye dominance really wasn't even much of a problem, because my eyes are "ambidextrous" so to speak, and I actually see a little better out of my RIGHT eye anyhow.
