Man it feels good.  Guess my bow now has a "little black dress" or LBD as my wife says.

The big guy does a great job with every bow he touches.  That beaver grip looks great.

I would love to do that to one of my bear bows...does he use glue or just stiching?

Don't want the glue to mess up the finish.

Tater, Not sure.  You'd have to call Jim about whether it's glue and/or stitching.

Everyone likes beaver ... uhhah grips, well except the Beaver.

They are thougher than woodpecker lips, have great traction but not too much like rubber and don't obsorb moisture and get squishy like leather can...and in a pinch... you can pack mud into a damn with them.

By the way, glued and sewn. The glue won't hurt the finish, but removing the glue might  make it shiny.
Thanks guys, bigjim

Kanati is $55 plus return shipping. Bows with more radical type grips such as many recurves are a little higher. That's cheap compaired to what the beaver paid for it  :)

thanks, bigjim
