Straight grip, dished or locator

My three Hills have locator grips, but I recently bought a Chally Special Hill-style longbow with a straight grip that is also perfect for my hand.

I like mine dished, My Jerry Hill was dished and the Half breed I have now is also! I had a Cheetah that had the locator and it wasn't good for me! All the bows were about the same poundage!

Ive never been able to get used to a locator grip, I feel like it forces my hand in to an awkward position. Just one guys opinion.

My new Hill has a dished grip and I love it!!!
I would like to try a straight grip, MMMMMM maybe my next Hill???

Dished for me.

I have Straight, Locator and Dished on my Hills.

But, the ones I like best have Dished Grips.

I like them all but a dished grip is my favorite!

I like a slightly dished grip on my bows.

Much prefer my straight grips but have a couple of slight dish also.

Well, it looks like I'm the odd one out!

I prefer the straight grip. It helps me to hold the bow in the proper position for shooting this type of bow (the Hill style longbow).
:cool:

so far, looks like most folks don't prefer the straight grip.

:D

What are you looking at Rob, the poll shows the straight by 41%, dished is 30% and locator 28%

Im with Aussie....
I like a slightly DSished, about 1/8" deep is all.

For us novices, how about someone putting up some pictures of the different grips, and listing them. Even though I don't have a Hill style bow doesn't mean I'm not going to have one in the future.

Thanks

All mine are straight, and I like'em. But my old Robertson R/D bow has a dished grip and it is the most comfortable grip I have shot on a longbow. When I get the GUTS to take a rasp to one of my straight handles I'm gonna convert it.

I think the dish helps force the heel down where its suposed to be...maybe its just me.

Both of my Hills have the locator grip. I can't get used to the straight grip.

What are the inherent advantages
and disadvantages to these grip options guys?
