So I am thinking about purchasing a recurve. I am thinking about grips and the dos and don'ts. I currently shoot a longbow with what I think is a low wrist grip.
I am wondering if this will work with a recurve. I see it as an option on the Silvertip. Quite frankly that is what I looking at ordering. I just want to understand the pitfalls.
Thanks!
Martin

I too prefer a low wirst grip myself,I don't see what would be wrong if thats the type of grip you like.A 50's style recurve has a grip and riser more like a longbow.Black Widow offers a low wrist grip for their recurves also.And I'm sure that with most custom bows you can get the grip you like within reason.

Holm-Made River Runner....great feeling low grip! He offers a 50's style and a 60's style as well as a Kodiak grip.

It looks like I may need to check out vendors that have them at Denton Hill.
I think I would like to shoot a couple before making a decision.
Alan,
Are you going to have it up at Denton Hill?
Thanks everyone for your comments.
This will be interesting.

Anyone want to trade Jager med ILF grip for a low?

I prefer a low wrist grip on my bows as well. I primarily shoot longbows, but my go-to bow as of late is a Sarrels Archery Puma which is a forward riser recurve with a low wrist grip. It's a unique design, very forgiving, and the grip melts right into my hand.
Acadian Woods also offers a low wrist option and Tim's bows are pretty easy on the eyes too!

Tell me that you were at Baltimore Bowmen and I missed seeing it. ):
Are you going to make Denton Hill? I would love to see it.
