Something about that medium checkered grip on the Silvertip does it for me!

The most consistantly referenced grip I've found is the Blacktail Med. checkered grip. Everytime I go to hold it it just fits perfectly into my hand and stays put. Feels natural.

Without a doubt the Schafer Silvertip medium recurve grip with the checkering is the best bow grip that my hand has ever touched!

Oh yeah! Mine is on the Robertson Perigrine 50's style recurve, which he no longer makes   :(  Luckily I have one hanging in my shop (my third)and every time I hold it I smile   :archer:
Is it September yet?!

Robertson longbows have a nice grip as well.

I like a lot of the grips mentioned, but the TallTines grip has ruined all the rest for me.

my favorite grip so far is my J.D. berry taipan. followed by my J.D.berry argos. I also really liked the whisper stick I used to have..  hornes traditionalist has a really nice grip too. I like a medium low grip. with a small throat. that way the fit into the ebbing of my thumb the same everytime.

Shrew, Morrison low, and Brackenbury Peerless (it is a little slimmer than the other Bracks I have shot). All are different, but they all work very well because of the orientation in which they hold your hand, wrist and arm. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Shrew grip.

Black Widow Asbell grip and Toelke Classic grip.  Very different grips, but both fit my hand to a "T".  I like the Classic grip so much I thought I'd try the BW low grip, but it isn't the same.  All other grips are judged by these two...Mike

My vote is for the A&H 16"RC riser with the finger grooves, hand goes in the same place every time.  Also, tried a Silvertip checkered grip that felt very similar that I also liked.

The shrew grip is so natural.
