Title: Leather Wrap?
Post by: davesonic444 on November 16, 2007, 10:13:00 AM
I have shot longbows and recurves for years and never one with a leather grip.Am i missing something?Is there an advantage to wrapping the grip?

Gives a better grip especially if your hand ever sweats.

I have two recurves made by the same bowyer.  One has a beavertail wrap the other nothing.  The wrap will add a bit of thickness and improve grip a bit.  The wrap definately changes the feel in your hand.  Whether there is an advantage depends on which feel you prefer.
