Title: Check out new Grip
Post by: graybarkhunter on June 17, 2011, 08:43:00 PM
Dentist by trade, got a wild hair and got my high speed hand drill after my widow. Took 10 minutes and now we have no slip grip.

Very nice, if I were to try that it would take me a lot longer than 10 minutes.

That looks great.  You are pretty talented with that drill!  Had a lot of practice, huh? And you are pretty brave to take a drill to your widow.  Nice work!   :clapper:

don, i sprayed a removable (dental) "spray paint" all around the grip and then gripped my bow exactly how i hold it when i shoot. my hands rubbed off the spray paint where i had gripped. so, i outlined this with a pencil then went to work. then i put two coats of Tru Oil over the area and buffed it. ready to go now. each dimple is  half mm to 1 mm at deepest. it was 99 degrees here in mississippi today and shot twenty plus times with no hand slip. at first i was a little timid to do it but finally i got the g(n)uts to do it. i figured you cant learn from it if you dont do it. thanks for the comments guys .. graybark

Yep, it's a great job Seth.  You do have some plums to do that.  I am really impressed.  My widow will be here Monday.  Don't think I have the stones to try that on the new pch.

Looks good.  :thumbsup:  I did that to one of mine awhile ago.  It does make a diff on the grip slippin', and looks pretty good too.
  Ain't nuttin' to it, but to do it.  :archer:

Wonder if my dental coverage would pay if I send you my bow ? Doesn't seem to cover much else.  :readit:  By the way looks great !

Wow David. Glad you said what I was thinking. Takes dirt dragging short hairs to drill a Schafer like that. Looks good though & maybe right handy.
