Currently none, but on my old longbow I ditched the leather and installed a Shur Grip I got from 3Rivers. Tight, non-slip and very sure in the hand. Rolls on or off pretty easily and it's cheap. I liked it.

Ive tried all 3 and it kind of depends on the bow grip. If the grip is beefy enough and the woods are nice then I like no grip but if its a little to slim I would rather have leather over the shur grip but I still like a shur grip ok .

brittman-

I just tried what you did. I had a grip that was too small around the top of the grip and I put the shur grip on with the elk leather over and baseball stiched it. It built up the grip just fine.

Posi grip feels great but it stinks for a while like a brand new rubber tire.

I used to like the sure grip, then I tried the leather tape that 3R sells and really liked that for a while. Then I went to nothing at all and have stayed that way. I just don't like grips anymore. I hate to cover up pretty wood anyway.  :saywhat:

I've got a moose hide wrap on my Hill bow, and bare wood on a longbow I built.  I prefer the leather one.

Wouldn't any flex in the grip material introduce a variable into bow to hand contact?
