Sweaty Hands/slipping bow grip

[JJB]

I tried a very thin rubber grip that I got from 3 rivers a few years ago.  It works great and looks sort of like leather when it's on.

Yer those sandpaper treads are terrific grip even wet and also can come in varying shapes. Gum resin on whipping has always been an alternative, probably up on rawhide that has an absorption limit in very humid environs. I see some of Tully bow hunters ( very high rain fall local) use grated cork to excellent effect by taping the area limits n spreading the granules on a fresh coat of glass resin then peel of the masking tape, it’s a little more permanent fix.

Thanks for the great info.  I will try a few of the suggestions and see what works best.

I use tennis racket tape on the bow handle.

I don't like a slick grip either.  For many years I have taken a piece of elk hide leather ( from an elk I shot) and fitted it on the grip.  After I get it cut and fitted to my liking, I put some contact glue on the bow handle and the elk hide.  When dry, I apply the elk hide to the bow.  It holds well and is easy to remove when it needs replacing.  Also looks good.
