don, i sprayed a removable (dental) "spray paint" all around the grip and then gripped my bow exactly how i hold it when i shoot. my hands rubbed off the spray paint where i had gripped. so, i outlined this with a pencil then went to work. then i put two coats of Tru Oil over the area and buffed it. ready to go now. each dimple is half mm to 1 mm at deepest. it was 99 degrees here in mississippi today and shot twenty plus times with no hand slip. at first i was a little timid to do it but finally i got the g(n)uts to do it. i figured you cant learn from it if you dont do it. thanks for the comments guys .. graybark
