If you are willing to try it yourself PM or e-mail me and I'll send you pdf file with a simple but great way to do it.

3Rivers also sells leather for that and they do a "how to video" on installing it.It tells how to measure and cut the leather,punch the holes and stitch.I have done a couple since watching it and they worked just like in the video.

I did my own, very easy and kinda fun. I ordered a grip kit from Mikes Archery Leather, a sponsor here, it comes with 3 pieces of leather, 2 needles and the thread to stitch em up, all for a great price that can't be beat!

i just did a baseball stitch on mine just make sure you cut the leather a little small so when you pull the stitches tight it wont bunch up

One of my favorite longbow grips is a leather lace grip like Harry Elburg and MR Hamilton put on their longbows.  It is a fairly easy do it yourself project and makes an awesome grip that looks good.  I can give you some detailed instructions on how I have done them if you are interested.  Shoot me a pm.
