Blacktail shooters
« on: November 15, 2008, 03:39:00 PM »
Guys, I was shooting my "Tail" today and found out it likes to be gripped tight.  All other bows I've ever shot liked a looser grip.  Have you all found the same thing with your's?

Hi TJ. That's how mine likes to be held too. It fits real nicely in the yoke of my hand. But I just lay my index finger and thumb around the riser lightly. It is such a good fit in the grip area that upon release it just lays there without having to grab at the bow.

I don't grip my Blacktail by squeezing it tight. I just use a firm grip. I've never used a looser grip, but I will try it and see what happens.

I let the pressure hold it against the web of my hand and then loosely wrap my thumb and first two fingers around it.
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.
