I have a leather grip on my recurve and it is getting all sticky. What do you guys use to clean your grips?

It might depend on what is on it that makes it sticky but normally I'd say saddle soap.

Lexol is a GREAT cleaner. You can get it at leather stores such as Tandy but you'll also find it in Auto stores and hardware like ACE. I've made moldy old leather look like a million bucks with it.
Saddle soap is good too as mentioned above. Pitch Blend will often break down sticky residue also due to the high oil content.

There are a couple variations of Lexol, one has a cleaner in it, one is just a conditioner. Both will darken the leather at first, but will dry back to "normal". Good stuff.

i wrapped mine with electrical tape, and that seemed to remove alot of the crud when i took the tape off, you might give it a try before rubbing somthing oily on your leather grip.
