Title: Elk Leather for Grip, Need Source
Post by: mikebiz on October 13, 2011, 10:02:00 PM

So I have a Hill style bow that I would like to replace the grip on. It currently sports a glued black elk leather grip, but the bow has brown glass. I would like to replace the grip with dark brown elk to match the limbs. And I want to lace it. I'm having trouble finding dark brown elk leather in the proper weight. I read around here that 1-2oz is appropriate for grips. Anyone got a good source? I don't want to buy a ton of it or spend a fortune either.

For those of you who haven't shot a bow with elk leather it is extremely soft and comfortable. I love it.

Can you post a pic of your bow glass? I have a piece I bought at Denton a couple years ago and if it's right I'll cut you off what you need.
