I came up with this saddle for my G.N. Super Ghost.I tried a leather/stitched full grip but it bulked up the handle too much. This is easy to do. Cut the Beavertail leather to the size you want. Sand the flesh side with 80grit sandpaper getting it as thin as possible.Soak the saddle in water,pat excess water out. Form the saddle to your bows grip and wrap with Ace bandage.Let it dry for 24hrs. Apply Barge cement to the saddle,place the saddle on the bow, press on firmly and let it set-up for 24hrs. You can get tanned Beavertail from Moscow Hide&Fur.

Looks good! How does it feel, I was wondering if the edge felt different or if your able to get it thin enough to not feel it?

Makes for a great non-slip grip.You can sand it really thin so you don't feel the edge. I also skived the edge's with a skive tool.

I gotta' say that's one of the most prettiest, innovative grips I've seen. I hate to copy you, but I'm going to.........sorry.

Exactly what I've been looking for!

You can get several saddles out of one tail and a bunch of sideplates too!

Ooooooooooohhhhh..........

Sideplates too!

I already ordered one. I've done business with Moscow before and really like them.

Mine got here! Woo Hoo!!

I have been looking for a grip and nothing caught my eye septin' fer this.

Please pray all that I don't screw it up.

Impressive! That really looks nice!

Well, I made a spacer. It turned out great. Cut it with kitchen shears and used a big flexible nail file to finish. It's nice because the spacer I had before was a frogs A$$ hair too big. This tapers down just a bit and lets the arrow come closer to center.

What did you sand the saddle with? A block type deal or just your hands? Any good tips?

Kendall, I generally don't like grips on my bows. You have invented an idea that is AWESOME. I just ordered the beavertail. Thanks
