Yea I think the grip can do that for sure.With my present bow I need to hold it in a certain spot which also happens to be the spot where I can grip the bow hard without it moveing around even though I don,t grip it very hard when I shoot, in order for it to not slap my arm and then sometimes I let it get around and still get slapped.I had an ACS that I tried out for a couple weeks and not once did it ever hit me.The grip on the shrew seems to give me better clearance too.
"what will it be like when I start shooting a longbow?"
LOL the bows I was talkin about above are LB,s
My first stick was a Martin Hatfield(recurve) which I altered the grip on a little to much the wrong way.It tends to move my forearm into the shot more now even if the grip is more to my hand than it was I shoulda made it to my hand but made it so that my thumb wasn,t so far around the grip.I still have and shoot the bow with no problem but I coulda done a better job in hindsite.It'd take more than I'm willing to remove to change it now and may weaken it too much so I just shoot it like I got used to and only use it for bow fishin at this time anyway
I don,t wear an armguard very often because I figure it shouldn,t hit anyway and if it does it may have and adverse effect on arrow flight.besides a good slap in the arm is a wake up call LOL
On my LB I grip it hard,choke that bad boy,find the spot that the bow just sits there no matter how hard ya squeeze.Thats the spot I like to shoot from Good luck
