who does NOT use leather on the grip?

[adkmountainken]

interesting replys.  as i have small hands when i took the leather of the Shrew it did fit alot better with the even now smaller grip. also as posted above i do like the leather grip on classic D shaped longbows and it does help me better grip them.
 WOW you fellers are some fine shootes, GNATS, holy cow i would struggle with a big babboon bent over scratching his toes!!!!!!!!

No leather on my bow

 

[bundyrod]

i prefer no leather on my longbows.

[leatherneck]

Don't like to cover up the beautiful wood I just paid good money for.

On the bows I've hunted so far I prefer no leather.I do have a shrew that has the leather on her but since she's #12 I won't be taking her hunting to often if at all and the leather will stay put.She may go hunting on a nice day in a friendly setting but not in the swamp

I like the looks and feel of the leather!


 

[Dave Coalter]

I have had one longbow with the leather and one without. i like it without better.

[Adirondack Bowman]

Definately leather. They feel and look way better.

[hardtimes]

I have leather on my longbow, no leather on my recurves.

[heydeerman]

It's must have on longbows for me. Pistol grip recurves I dont like it.

Leather on the Hill longbow, but removed the rubber grip from the Widow longbow last year. Leather and wood look great, but from now-on I'd rather not have rubber for some reason.

I have not used any type of grip wrap until my two latest bows arrived. They have very small grips. I have very large hands. I wrapped the grip with the ultra-traditional tennis racket grip wrap. It was the only thing I had at the time. All is well so far. I think I'll keep it on for awhile.
