HIgh wrist?
« on: January 27, 2009, 08:04:00 PM »
I have noticed when I shoot that even though my hand is in contact with the grip that I like the bulk of the pressure between my thumb and forefinger and I extend out my bow arm when I draw, with all the pressure right there.  I only really grasp the bow lightly with my thumb and forefinger.  Barely any pressure if at all.

Does this indicate that I like a "high wrist" grip?  Would getting a "high wrist" gripped bow benefit my shooting style?
You get to keep what you kill.  If it were easy there would be no value in it.

You would probably be more comfortable with a Asbell Style grip which has a slightly larger palm swell given how you hold the bow(it allows you to rotate your hand more). In my experience, a high wrist can lead to bow torque unless I'm very careful. I like bows with small grips and hold them as you do. The grip on a Shrew is dang near perfect
