Thanks a lot for your thoughts!
I also suppose, that I wouldnt shoot better with a checkered grip. But  "it feels more secure" sounds really good.Thats what I wanted to read  :)
@JL: nice grip!

I have bows with and without.  I definitely like them with checkering.

I like "real" checkering, it can be beautiful (like JL's above) as well as functional. Don't care for some of the chicken scratch stuff you see offered by some bowyers.

I don't care for checkering in the grip...I like mine smooth so that pivot point does what it's supposed to do.   Pivot.

Shoot one before you buy.

I bought a Morrison with a checkered grip.  It was a beautiful bow, but after shooting it for a while, it hurt my hand.
The guy I sold it to loves it. Matter of opinion.
