Sounds like the perfect opportunity to buy a new bow. Short of that, I don' t like anything on my hands or grip that is clingy feeling. I detest all the light and midweight gloves now have rubber fingers or dimples or leather strips etc on them. TO me, I' d sooner wrap it with something like moleskin..... or wrap with the sims stuff and put moleskin over it. That way your hand can slide comfortably to the same spot every time and not get hung up on rubber. The biggest selling point on my Darton was the grip, it' s small size and the way it felt. Nothing like it.
