grip removal
this is probally a dump guestion but anyway i hate the handle on my bowtech and i feel that i am torquing the bow, so i went to remove it thinking that i could shoot it bare frame or even put a custom fit handle on it. I removed the 2 screws in the handle and i lightly tapped on it but could not get it to move. was wondering if they are glued on or how to easily remove it without damaging. thanks alot

RE: grip removal
Well, other than absolutely not believing a person wouldn't simply be ecstatic with the factory Bowtech grip (I think it's probably the best grip I've ever held, including custom after-market grips I've ordered for my Mathews)...
I know Mathews uses 3M weather strip adhesive to glue theirs on ... their techs recommend removing them by using heat from a blow dryer (hair) and gently prying them off.

RE: grip removal
i have a 02 patriot, i feel that the grip is huge and very uncomfortable, and i have small hands so i feel like i am really squeezing the handle to keep it there. i will try the blow dryer though, thanks

RE: grip removal
hmmm... don't remember that grip specifically, but the newer ones (at least from the '04s on...) are some of the thinnest factory ones available.
Good luck with the hair dryer.
