Question no grip on bow?

just wondering if anyone has taken off their stock grip and left it off, i'm shooting a pse stinger and the grip is rather large. i know that a lot of guy's go with a very slim grip, but does anyone shot without one at all?

I shoot without one on my martin. I suppose it could be a little colder but I hunt in AZ so it's no problem

Try tennis racket tape, it wont make the grip any larger. I know several people that have done what you have. I hate fat grips also.

I did this on my old PSE. When I took the big plastic grip off, the corners were too sharp to be comfortable. The tennis racket tape worked great.

Lot's do that. The less hand contact on the bow handle the less chance to torque the shot. But the bare handle has to be reasonably comfortable or it can start to hurt (sharp corners).
