Been away a few days...glad I caught this thread. Glad you got your bow and are liking it. I love mine too and shoot it really well also. Gonna be a fun Turkey hunting partner starting this week.
Kojac...cant speak for others but I love my leather grip. I have cold hands and almost always wear knit gloves. I like the traction of leather. I also folded my leather at top and bottom 1/4 inch to make a little locator lip and rolled on two little rubber sleeves (road bicycle tubing) to bulk it up a little. I couldnt be happier. The rattan does a nice job of rounding out and filling out the handle and also is unique and eye catching. If I lived in a warmer climate I'd have opted for the rattan but my darn hands get cold too easy.
