Ive seen several people with those rubber grips you "roll on" on their BW's and I love the way they feel.

But how on earth do you get them on?  I tried sliding it on...yea now way.  I tried rolling it aint happening the riser cut out it just to big.

The only thing I didn't get a chance to try was leaving the limbs on and feeding it that way then try to "roll" it the extent of the limbs and riser.  B/c with the limbs off I just couldn't do it!

Anyone have any experience with this?

Al Kidner should chime in with some advice on this, or you could PM him.

thank you sir!

baby powder the grip then try pulling/rolling it on.

Deadbolt you can use an air compressor and an air gun or blower. I have found them to go on easy with the air...Glenn...

I rolled mine on. I used a small piece of string on each side I rolled it over top of to help pull it over the tight spots then pulled the string out when I got to the grip.

Leave the limbs on and roll it up. Takes a little elbow grease but not all that difficult.

Try some 'possum fat Tom .It has to be 'possum fat though...............I'm kiddin'

I think I'll use that as a tool to help as well thanks!

I was thinking that would work b/c I almost got it until I hit the steep part of the riser...with the limbs on I wont hit that part just have to stretch it a bit.

Use your thumbs to pull it wider when you need to.

What Vermonster said.  Leave the limbs on and roll the grip up.  The grip should be rolled so that it looks sort of like a bracelet, then roll that up to the shelf.  Once it's at the shelf you can unroll it down and smooth it out.

vermonster and scott thanks fellas im getting out to the shot to give it a go now!

Check your PM's Tom.....

Let us know how you like it. I have been thinking of getting one to install on a PSA.

OK, here is how I do it.   Take the top limb off, leave the bottom limb on.  You can put the top of the riser without the limb against your leg or padded chair for leverage.  Find a 12 inch piece of heavy cord (like sash cord).  Roll the grip on the lower limb into a donut.  Loop the cord through the donut and tie the ends together.  The cord become the handle to pull the grip over the wide spots.  Roll and pull up.  When the grip is up to the top of the grip, remove the cord and unroll rubber grip over Widow grip.

Well I tried it...no way is heck was it getting over that riser point!!!

I put it on the limb tried rolling it up and over and it just wasn't gonna stretch...it would take a feat from god to get it to stretch that much.

Unrolled and tried the rope still no way to get enough force to stretch it without 4 guys.

Are there different sized ones?  Maybe mine is just to small to get around the riser?  I looked online before I bought it and there were no options for sizes...I'm honestly stuck with this one..

back to the shop thanks scott!

Never tried it myself,but would it help to use heat?Like soaking the rascal in hot water to soften/stretch it some?Good luck & keep us posted,as I've been thinking of putting one on one of my bows,too.

TXRED not sure if that would work or not sounds like it though...only thing I would be worried about with that is getting the moister under the rubber and it sealing it in if there was a little pocket or something.  not sure how it would affect the wood in the long run.
