Wondering what grip you like best?
I've been shooting a Black Widow Longbow and the grip is pretty nice. To shoot it straigth I have to use alot of heel. Everyone I talk to says not to do this, but that is the only way I can shoot it straight.... Is there a particular grip that one should use a lot of heel on? Thanks.

Howard Hill heeled the bow. He was good shot. Don`t listen to what folks say listen to what works.RC

Any straight handled/gripped bow begs to be shot low wrist, i.e., with a lot of heel.

I have a Fused Wrist on my Left, Bow Hand, so
EVERYTHING
is High Wrist For Me! I have a Terrible Time with a Straight Handle, Until I can Find That "Sweet Spot" to Hang Onto!
My LongBows have
ALL
had to have some Padding and Leather Added for any of them Touch My Palm! I have a Recurve that Fits My Hand Perfectly!! So, I "Try" to Reproduce
THAT
Grip!! Its has been a Fun-Challenge!!
You CAN Do It!!

IMHO, hold it low, and grip it tight.
