Really an open hand grip (where you force the hand open and stick your fingers out) is almost as bad as a closed one. It still puts torque on the bow just from a different angle. Regardless of what your hand is doing, minimal toucing with the palm on the riser, and a relaxed hand are key.

My hand in the pic really is a bit more stressed than i try for, but hey... we all have room for improvement!!!
