All my bows are bulbous handled. So far, all of them have 2" fades + the 4" handle section and are generally 1" wide at the narrowest point before final shaping, so they'll be a little less than that when done. I also make my upper limb anywhere from 1 to 1-1/2" longer, but that's a different debate. The bulbous handle will feel best resting within relatively the same area in your grip, each time you shoot. When I shoot my bows in, there's no rest, just shoot off the knuckle for awhile. Once I have a string nock positioned for best flight and shoot a little more, there's a nice little mark left behind at the bottom of the fade, showing my arrow pass. I position my floppy rest (the only way to go IMO) so the arrow will pass there, then finish the handle wrap.
