Never had a Hatfield but have had a Dreamcatcher.I thought it had a great feeling grip but sold it a couple of years ago.Can't remember the exact feeling of the Dreamcatcher.They are handbuilt I believe and will have slight differences in the feel.I have a 1998 Hunter and a 2008 Hunter.Both have great feeling grips,but feel the 1998 Hunter grip I like it more then the 2008 Hunter.I like them both,just that the 1998 feels alittle sweeter to me.I like the grip on Howatt/Martin recurves and have had a few.The Hunter's in the 80's with the actionwood risers felt alittle bulker.I also think it depended on the bow draw weight.Like my 70# Hunter the grip felt larger then my 50# Hunter of the same actionwood Hunter's from the 80's.
