Pistol Grip Howard Hill
« on: May 20, 2007, 02:45:00 PM »
I saw at their website that they offer a pistol grip in additonal to straight and dished grips. Anyone have a picture, and how does it shoot. I am thinking of getting a 70" WS or a Black bear with carbon.

You mean the locater grip? I don't think it is a full pistol grip.

Just got my Wesley Special in the mail today. It has the locator grip too.  Not sure how I am going to be able to shoot it though, as it has a normal adult grip and I have these damn "women's" hands ;-(

I may be headed for the custom route after all.

I will post pics shortly.

Shot my WS last night with the lcoator grip.  While the grip is a little large for my small hands, I could not miss with it.  The only reason I stopped shooting was it got dark and the mosquitoes nearly ate me alive ;-)

I will want to try a traditional, straight handled Hill though.

RASP, SANDPAPER, CA GLUE, and a LEATHER GRIP!!!  WALAAA!!  You can make the one you have fit you with a little sweat equity.  It is MUCH easier than you would think.

I would have the heart or the skill to take any of those tools to this beautiful piece of ebony ;-)

I did what Carbon Caster said to mine. It was easy and worked fine. But I'm sure Craig Ekin would be pleased to have it done for you at a very reasonable cost. I recommend that. Get that fine bow altered just as you wish it to be. Then love it for life! LBG

bottom bow. mid-80's big five.  I shot and recovered 12 straight Texas whitetail in a row before I retired the bow.  67#@28" 68".  Twice I pinned tom's to the ground so securely that they died on stop they were shot.

 

I was hunting on a farm that had a Mexican familhy as resident care takers.  The kids called the bow La Tadro (the drill) because I shot some amradillo for Mama Chappa to make 'dillo and chilles.

I have a Tembo with the locator grip and really like it. I took the leather off and finished the grip smooooth, I love the feel of wood in my hand more than leather.

Rusty, it should be Taladro.

Good shooting.

God bless,
