Wondering what grip you like best?

I've been shooting a Black Widow Longbow and the grip is pretty nice. To shoot it straigth I have to use alot of heel.  Everyone I talk to says not to do this, but that is the only way I can shoot it straight....  Is there a particular grip that one should use a lot of heel on?  Thanks.
Blessings,
Steve

Howard Hill heeled the bow. He was good shot. Don`t listen to what folks say listen to what works.RC

Amen to what RC say's. If it works for you stay with it.

PastorSteveHill

Will do. Thanks boys..

Anyone got a picture of Howard Hill holding the bow?
Blessings,
Steve

Any straight handled/gripped bow begs to be shot low wrist, i.e., with a lot of heel.

I have a Fused Wrist on my Left, Bow Hand, so     EVERYTHING  is High Wrist For Me! I have a Terrible Time with a Straight Handle, Until I can Find That "Sweet Spot" to Hang Onto!
 My LongBows have  ALL  had to have some Padding and Leather Added for any of them Touch My Palm! I have a Recurve that Fits My Hand Perfectly!! So, I "Try" to Reproduce  THAT  Grip!! Its has been a Fun-Challenge!!  :thumbsup:   You CAN Do It!!  :archer:    :goldtooth:

IMHO, hold it low, and grip it tight.
