Title: Reshaping grip
Post by: howl on October 11, 2025, 02:29:02 PM
Reckon there's enough material to change the top to look like the bottom? The fat one is a Browning Nomad Stalker I 50#.

The top grip doesn't work well for me. The bottom is easier to shoot consistently.

If it was 40ish I wouldn't worry much about slimming it. You will lose the glass on back changing it tho and that adds strength.

I guess there's one way to find out.

I cut thru the back glass on the one on my bow build on my site. It is still going but it has a laminated riser also.

Well it should be pretty simple to lower the wrist angle to match the lower one and round over the palm swell a bit. plenty of meat there....
