Here's a topic for you guys to ponder. Many have personal opinions on what grip is the best for them on a bow riser grip.. But my question is: how many have shot all three, compared ,and come up with an educated choice? Many just speak up on what they have shot only...without actual experience on the others.
For me, a high grip destroys all others. I've tried all three desperately But I know I am in a very small group who may agree. It may be my Olympic FITA style background, or that I can't shoot a longbow accurately to save my life.
My finding is that a loose grip, usually backed up by a finger or wrist sling to keep the bow from falling forward upon release, with an almost horizontal hand and high grip/palm swell to keep the hand in place, eliminates most bow torque, poor release problems.
But again, I'm a recurve guy, who shoots 64" and up hunting bows. Not exactly normal, I know.
Have you low grip/ longbow, 50's style recurve guys ever shot a high grip with an open mind to see if you can improve your technique?
In an ever going quest to improve, I am willing to try and compare others techniques to my own to look for improvement. So far, I don't know how you low grip guys do it consistantly. Show me the way!
