What Kirk didn't mention in his observation is that when I shoot, no matter how I hold my bow(s)or my shoulder or grip...the bow(s)would "recoil" down and to the right to the 5:00 position...
I figured it was just a weak shoulder or something... You saw Lee's quick couple of videos. the bow is NO LONGER jumping down and to the right!
Kirk went into detail above about how the extra width and palm swell I felt was needed, on close examination of my shooting...and shoot different dimension risers I have, all pointed to my putting too much, how did he say
it was putting the heel pressure off center too much and pushing the bow to the right upon release, instead of straight forward....[/b]
I forget honestly what Kirk told me up front he charges for "custom grip design" but in honest retrospect, given the time and effort he puts into it... it's one incredible deal right there!
Anyone who is particular with grip issues, or has some sense they MIGHT have a challenge, you might consider getting on Kirk's waiting list. You give him the videos he wants, from angles he requests, hand tracing...you can count on being happy---like me and all the rest!
Everyone I contacted who had experience with Kirk's grip work, told me not to worry, this guy
was the real deal..., but hell, I was still wondering. It's only natural. But I did come to the sense early on that, with the level of effort that he was investing,...if he COULD NOT get my grip issue worked out...it could NOT be fixed by anyone else either!
I've not learned all this svelt pretty woman has to teach me, but I know I'm in good hands to let her "lead" for the next few dances!
Caleb,
Good to see you on here. Sorry to miss you li'l buddy...but school is important. We will get together thru the season when I get up and you're home... Count on it...
