Grip- Traditional bows vs. Modern Compounds
Why is it that the majority of traditional bows I' ve seen have a big meaty fills your palm grip with a more narrow throat, but modern grips are becoming slimmer every year, with a very narrow throat. I know the mantra for the compounds is less potential to torque, but I for one prefer the feel of the beefier grip in my hand, and actually find it easier to shoot this type of grip with a relaxed hand than the thinner grips. Something about feeling the grip fully in my hand makes it more stable and takes my mind off the bow.
I much prefer the feel of the old Mathews and Bowtech grips as well as those on Parker, the older PSEs (such as the Baby G) and others.
If I get a new bow, chances are very good that I' ll be looking for an aftermarket grip that fits this bill...
