Title: Hill grip gets a make-over!
Post by: Apex Predator on April 17, 2008, 09:54:00 PM
I decided to replace the old ratty looking leather grip on my new Hill. I choose black because it was the best looking piece I had, and I thought it would match the snake skins that are in this bows near future. I figured that I would give it a little more of a locator while I was in there. It really feels better to me this way. I duplicated the little leather arrow keeper that Craig uses. I love that little piece! Here is the old grip first.

The grip wrap takes a little practice, but I think I have a pretty good system now.  A lot of stretching and fitting before final cutting, glue, and lace.  Thanks for the comments.
