How do you like the Big Jim beavertail grip on my Centaur?

It looks good! If I was to like leather grips I would have a beavertail grip. I don't like the feel of leather grips on a bow so I will just admire them on others' bows.

Looks great!  I love the beaver tail grip on my Big Jim bows, and I'm thinking real hard on sending my MOABs in for beaver tails too...

Bisch,

I know what you mean about leather and the feel, but Beaver Tail is unlike any other leather, to me it has such a smooth but almost glue like contact to it.  Makes for a real solid grip and add just the right amount of thickness to the riser to fill the hand,

Yep I really like them!  Here the other one with a beautiful matching Brown tail.

I try not to ( think ) as it usually gets me in trouble, but in this case I think it looks great. I understand that Stingray skin is very nice also.

That is really nicely done.  I'm gonna have to try a beavertail grip pretty soon.

That looks great!  That makes me want to replace my brown leather with brown beavertail.  Big Jim is out of the brown beavertails and won't be placing an order until this summer.  Does anyone know of another place to get them?

Looks great.  

How much does it increase the diameter of a grip?

Joe Vt, I'd say approximately 1/8" beavertail is thin but strong.

Looks like a perfect grip ...very good.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

They looked better the other day with my hand around them!

I like the way they look over the finger grooves. Nice addition. I'd like to try and put a beav' on a grip,but still a bit worried about what might go wrong.

The feel is really tacky but not sticky, does that make sense? Wet or Dry your hand doesn't move.

They both look great but that brown tail is plain awesome looking!

Nice Butchie!  I've got a brown beavertail on order.  I'm going to replace my brown leather wrap with it.
