Bow-Tech grip question
 
Are the grips on an Old Glory like a press fit or are they glued on?
Would like to remove it but don't want to destroy it.
Thanks sjb3

Don't think you can get it off without destroying it.
It takes quite a bit of 'heating' with a hair dryer and some prying also. Use a towel on the riser to prevent any dings--but it ain't easy.

I gave up trying to save mine. I did manage to keep the sides intact. I can use them a side plates. I wrapped the riser with Tourna Grip. This stuff works great.

RE: Bow-Tech grip question
 
Well now I've done this a few times on my Pro40...

I managed to get the stocker off w/ a little effort. I heated the grip up w/ a hair dryer for quite a while.. then worked a butter knife under the base flat part of the grip where it meets the riser at the bottome of the grip. Slow and gently worked it off.

Then the other day I wanted to remove my Loesch grip which I glued on w/ silicone.. I placed some masking tape on the right (thumb) side to take up the little bit of slack in the grip. I wanted to remove it and place it on the left (finger) side.. which I understand in the correct way.. who knows.. I had less problems w/ the arrows torquing to the left after doing this.

Well when removing the Loesch I wanted to be very careful and not break it.. for obvious reasons. What I did was to place the bow in the bow press... and took a piece of thin serving and held it across the riser at the top the grip.. and I worked it under the grip while pulling the serving to either side of the riser.. pulling down towards the stabilizer.. I worked the serving back and forth in a sawing motiong.. while working my way down the length of the grip. This popped the grip right off... w/ no damage what so ever. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Hope this helps someone.. and saves a few stock grips in the process.
