I figure Larry should because I don't know if it is the number. This was back when they were still doing some testing and I had some hand/grip issues in the spring.

You could ask the same question about alot of the more recognized bow names. Why so many for sale?
Some of these companies have the technology and or the personel to build them faster than others and that probably accounts for the biggest reason so many pop up for sale.   :campfire:  
If you have been at Trad Gang very long you will see a trend develope and its fun to watch. It ususaly starts out by a few guys telling about this great new bow they just got,pictures soon follow.  :archer:  
  Nothing wrong with the bow its just fun to sample whats out there.And I'm sure the bowyers apprieciate the business and the positive talk about what they build.

I had a chance at a A&H 52# @ 28" 62" BOA quiver and case $900 Outstanding conditiion... That being said the grip just didn't fit..It pushed my hand up by the shelf, causing the fletching to take a chunk out of my hand on every shot. I tried LW, RW, nock-in, nock-out, (5" parabolic) nothing worked. I also found the bow to shoot real fast but, real MOODY. If this bow fits you Great. Just not for me. Mark

I put a rubber sleeve on the grip and it shoots really well for me. Without it I couldn't consistantly grip the bow. But with it I lay my hand on the grip the same everytime and it stays put!

that sounds like a good idea snag,,, i like the looks of the leather grip on mines but it tends to make my hand slip.

I think the grip issue is the main selling point on the A&H wooden riser versions.  It is small, but sounds like it is being addressed as we speak.  The metal riser is a bit larger with a bit more distance between the arrow and your hand which prevents the arrow from "biting" at least my hand at the shot.  

I like them, and the only reason I had my A&H up for trade for a DAS Master is that I have another 3-piece CX with aluminum riser coming from O.L. with a heavier set of limbs.  They are a fantastic bow IMO, and are getting to be a lot more readily available through the "shop" in Michigan.

The new risers look nice,,, finger groves and all. Grip does look to be a lower one too.
