My favorite grip on any bow is the one on the Bear Kodiak recurve. Something about it... It just feels like a bow grip is SUPPOSED to feel. [8D]

Used to be the medium or high wrist pistol grips were IT. But that' s when bows were more deflexed, had decent brace heights and straight bow arm and high wrist was the grip most everyone used.

But the high wrist presents problems for speed bows. Namely, the flesh on the shooter' s forearm and keeping it where it' s supposed to be and not hanging off the bowstring. You have to shoot a low brace (my definition is 7" or less) bow with a semi-bent elbow and low wrist. Which is exactly like shooting a longbow. So, now compound grips have a closer resemblence to longbow locator grips than recurve pistol grips.

Just FYI, when you start looking around for a new bow, keep in mind that Martin makes some nice optional grips for their bows.
