One more thing I just thought of, I just learned why the reverse handle bow is so useful and I tested it today. If you have to wear gloves or something that will mess with your bow hand, these bows are very difficult to torque, even with gloves! I got waaay too far into the grip today to test out the "theory" and found it to be very true. They don't torque. I found it also to be very much more accurate than the standard design as well, which I feel that I am very proficient as shooting. Give it a try sometime!

The differences in the Hill grips are fairly minor.  Though my current bows have dished grips, I've shot straight and indexed griped Hills just as well.

Slightly dished with natural elk and chechen riser. May sound funny, but I seem to get the heel of my hand down on the slightly dished grip better than the locator or the straight. I have all three grips on my Hill bows.

Two Wesley Specials that have the dished; a Halfbreed that is straight and a Longbowman's Choice that is a locator.

Here is the other side of the slightly dished chechen riser.
