I found this guy on the internet, check him out. He has some very nice looking grips and the prices seem reasonable. I'm seriously thinking about getting one from this guy, a lt. brown one with a cushion. www.jagerarchery.com |

I shoot a Reflex, made by Hoyt, and I liked the grips at first. For some reason after shooting alot or holding at full draw for an extended amount of time, my thumb cramps up. I took the grips off and dont have the cramping issue any more. My buddies dad does alot of wood working and I think I may give him the plastic grips and let him make some out of wood with a few mods. to them and see how that works out.

Well, I've ordered my grip today from Jager Archery  . It should be here in about 3 days. I hope it looks as good as their picture does. I got it in lt. brown with a cushion. It's slimmer in profile and closer to the riser so I hope it'll be what I want  . I'll post some pix when I get it in  . Doc, post some pix if your get your grip made. I always like to see people's handiwork, maybe get some ideas for my own projects. |

The wood grip on my Bowtech was a bit loose. It does not take much to throw your shot off a bit. Upon removal, I found that the grip was cut just a bit narrow for the riser stock and the resulting outward pressure caused the grip to crack - right in line with the grain. Hard to see unless the bow was drawn, hard to see with your hand wrapped around the grip! This allowed for just a bit of instability. So, I shoot off the riser now, and will put the grip back on if I ever get rid of the bow. I like shooting off the riser, though, and recommend you try it if you have the chance to do so. A note of warning - those wood grips are glued on and usually break when you attempt to remove them. So, take care as you could end up replacing the grip whether you want to or not! (Yes, if your grip screws on this is not an issue. Lucky you!)

My factory grip has a screw but the new I'm getting is going to be glued on. Hopefully I won't have to replace the new grip any time soon.

I put some 50yr. caulking between it and the riser and re-mounted it. Has been great for 4 years now |
