The grip on the Airbornes, General and the Diamond Marquis are all the same, fantastic in my opinion.

I was always a fan of the Hoyt grips and the new Bowtech grips are the same/similiar and perfect in my opinion.

Like others, the one reason I would never chose a certain brand is that big thick chunk of wood on those bows. Way too big!

The Mathews Apex series of bows in my opinion have the best factory grip available Thin, nice defined corners, and a shelf that provides me a spot to put my thumb without tension in it. I truly think this is the best grip out there, only problem with it is that it gets mighty cold when hunting with it. I also like the Martin Scepter IV grip, and the Bowtech's that come with a Shrewd from the factory. The new grips offered by PSE (I think they call them the b.e.s.t. grips or something like that) are also fantastic. To be honest I don't like much else thats an off the shelf type of gripright now.

One other thing I consider as well, especially in a target bow, is where on the riser the pivot point of the grip falls. Is the grip the center of the riser, or is the berger hole, and how is this going to affect the tiller settings I need to get the holding characteristics I want?
