Good point about the grip kickin. The ONLY part you touch on a bow is the grip, and if that doesn't feel right, I guess the whole rest of the bow won't feel right either. Mathews grips to me feel like i'm grabbing a 2X4, whereas Bowtech feels real nice to me, but I like a super thin grip. Since grip is such a HUGE part of the overall feel of a bow, I wonder what the reason is that more companies don't offer several grip options with their bows. Its simple to change a grip, just a screw, and it would be equally easy to ship a $1000 bow with three different grip options.
