Grip is slick

I have got a new Bear Super Kodiak.  The grip seems to be a little slick.  What do you guys use to add better grip to your bows.

Several different forms of rubber grips are listed on the three rivers web site.  I use the sure grip, but there are others.  Kinda ugly but they work.

You could try a grip saddle, which will give you something in the palm, or a Shur Grip. I just put one of the ones with the little raised dots on my Bamboo Longhunter. It's rubber and gives me a nice solid grip, even on really hot days. 3Rivers has them.

A "Bow Saddle" will do what you want. Cheap, durable, and classy looking. Also has a history as long as the Kodiak.

Been on 3 Rivers site.  Looks like the Bow Saddle is the one I will be ordering.  Thanks for the info.

You could always do a leather laced up grip.  I'm going to do one on my new bow, and if all goes well (this will be my first) I will do a grip-along.

Just a little patch of skateboard tape about 3/4" wide and 2" long will give you plenty of "traction", lol...

Not to be contrary here, but I've never understood why people want to increase the "grip" on a recurve.  I thought it was a good thing to reduce the ability to torque a bow, not increase it?  I know some bowyers checker the grip, some even carve out finger grooves etc; but there must be a reason the majority of bowyers leave recurve grips slick.

Swamp Yankee..... contrary to the common myth, it is possible to firmly grip and shoot a recurve accurately without causing the dreaded "torque". Also on bows 60# and more a smooth grip is harder to keep where you want it in your palm in hot weather (sweat) or cold weather (gloves).

hvyhitter... Exactly!! I can't ever remember a bow once taken in hand that slips into the right position.
Grip it right in the first place and you want it to stay there.
