My vote goes to Dave Dwyer after trying MANY? How about you guys? Bill

1 piece bow?

Shrew
Kanati
Lost Creek

I have and like Shrew and Thunderstick, but I sure think it depends on the shape of the YOUR hand, and your physical build and personal preferences....

The One that fits your hand like a glove. Too many great ones to mention, best thing is to try as many as you can till you find the One that fits you.

I have tried a bunch, Striker and Kanati are good for me.

I really like my Fox Triple Crown's grip because it is designed like a recurve's and thus I can shoot it like my recurves.

Yep! My Howard Hill with locator grip is as good as it gets for me right now, but no doubt wouldn't be everybody's cup o' tea.

Tough to top a stewart slammer, but I like alot of different grips.

It's gonna depend on the shooter. If one single grip was best for everyone, all bows would be made with it. Personally, I like the old Robertson longbow dish/slight locator and a Morrison low.

Shrew grip is hard to beat.

ron w · October 02, 2012, 12:40:00 PM

Depends what you like......Most folks hate a Hill style grip, if it's dished I really like them. Shrew and Griffin are real popular, they just don't work for me. I just got a Northern Mist Baraga with the "RW" grip....I'm really liking that! We are all different and I think that's a good thing....LOL! Holm-Made Osprey has a grip I really like also!

My Centaurs grip is made to my hand. Jim has a guy trace there bowhand,then uses the template from it for a pattern. I do like the Shrew as well. Big Jim's Thunderchild has a good grip also. rat'

I like the Dwyer grip, but my Toelke Whip with the thumb rest is my personal favorite.

Mojostick · October 02, 2012, 12:51:00 PM

Toelke Whip.

I have found that for a locator style my old 50s kodiak special fit my hand the best, so I transferred it to my yew longbow and it worked even better, slightly slimmer and deeper. My straight grips are slightly asymmetrical to the bow hand, so they position and fit tight in the hand like an original Hill grip, but without the sharpness. I have three bows that I have not recreated the grip, my Robertson longbows, but I am thinking about it.

South Cox, Stalker Recurves

Grips are a very personal preference thing. I may like one that you don't like at all. That said my fav is the A&H low wrist style:

bornagainbowhunter · October 02, 2012, 01:59:00 PM

Like has been mentioned, it will be different for everyone. I personally like the Robertson dish grip the best, but do not like the Robertson with a locator.

I also like the RER low wrist grip.

God Bless,
Nathan

Cari-bow takes first spot for me.
