Grip is slick

[acollins]

I have got a new Bear Super Kodiak.  The grip seems to be a little slick.  What do you guys use to add better grip to your bows.

Several different forms of rubber grips are listed on the three rivers web site.  I use the sure grip, but there are others.  Kinda ugly but they work.

You could try a grip saddle, which will give you something in the palm, or a Shur Grip. I just put one of the ones with the little raised dots on my Bamboo Longhunter. It's rubber and gives me a nice solid grip, even on really hot days. 3Rivers has them.

Posi-grip.

A "Bow Saddle" will do what you want. Cheap, durable, and classy looking. Also has a history as long as the Kodiak.

Been on 3 Rivers site.  Looks like the Bow Saddle is the one I will be ordering.  Thanks for the info.

Works great!!

You could always do a leather laced up grip.  I'm going to do one on my new bow, and if all goes well (this will be my first) I will do a grip-along.

I wrap mine wth a rawhide lace.....

Just a little patch of skateboard tape about 3/4" wide and 2" long will give you plenty of "traction", lol...

Not to be contrary here, but I've never understood why people want to increase the "grip" on a recurve.  I thought it was a good thing to reduce the ability to torque a bow, not increase it?  I know some bowyers checker the grip, some even carve out finger grooves etc; but there must be a reason the majority of bowyers leave recurve grips slick.

Bowstring wax. Messy but effect forashort term fix

Swamp Yankee..... contrary to the common myth, it is possible to firmly grip and shoot a recurve accurately without causing the dreaded "torque". Also on bows 60# and more a smooth grip is harder to keep where you want it in your palm in hot weather (sweat) or cold weather (gloves).

hvyhitter... Exactly!! I can't ever remember a bow once taken in hand that slips into the right position.
Grip it right in the first place and you want it to stay there.

Temporary fix for slipping bow handle.... paste wax the grip.
