Any Morrison Shawnee takedown longbow owners near Wichita, Ks. with the medium preferred grip?? I would like to feel the grip to see if I like it or need to order one with a recurve style grip. I have been shooting recurves, but have the urge to try a top end longbow and want to make sure I will like the grip before ordering.
Thanks, Mike Tibbits

Mike, I like the lower grip myself. Actually I have the med. and it felt too high so I had it taken down. I should have just got the Low in the first place.
I agree with leatherneck, the low wrist is extremely comfortable. I too had my medium wrist taken down.
One more for thee low grip. This grip is the one I compare all others to.
Everyone talks about torque in a bow grip. They're refering to movement left and right. This is easy to eliminate with a light grip. I believe a "high wrist grip" or recurve grip is condusive to up and down torque. This is much harder to get rid of.
To further prove my point, the best shooters I know of Howard and Byron, both shoot/shot healing the bow. Back in my dark side days I remember most good shooters taking their "grip" off their aluminum riser so they could "heal or palm" their bow.

Oh, oh, I forgot, this is MOST IMPORTANT, the pine cone looks better on a low grip.

I like the low grip better also. I have two with the low grip and one with a medium grip. Doesn't mean I don't shoot the medium, but I prefer the low...
another vote for a low grip, with the cones. ron
Ditto, low grip with pinecones,
