Do a search on GRIP or SHOOTING FORM. Your hand should not hurt from gripping the bow because you should not grip a bow at all. Gripping is reserved for longbows.

RE: grip on my bow propblem
In general you want a slim grip. The less contact the human has with the bow the better. Human error is the main reason bows don't shoot well.
The fatter the grip the more chance there is to torque it. Take a look at some of the best shooters there are. Many of them remove the grip all together just for that reason and just shoot off the riser.
If it doesn't feel good give it more time. Get your brain concentrating on aiming and forget the grip In time you'll adjust to it.
