HotLZ, I love the feel of the Shrewd grip. But I suppose it may be smart to shoot off the riser for a while to see if you like it and could save yourself $50 bucks. I did not get my grip off in one piece, like I said I didn't realize it was glued on (should have asked). I tried prying with a screwdriver and then gave a few taps on the end of the screwdriver with a hammer. I was expecting it to just pop off but since it was glued I actually buggered my riser just a little. Oh well, she still shoots sweet......
