What kind of grip do you prefer on a Howard Hill Bow? Straight, Dished or Locator grip. Which one is more accurate for you?

Thanks,
Boomer

straight has that classic look, but locator is more functional for me.

I got the straight one on my first Hill, and it's okay. But the one that just arrived has the locator, and I prefer it.

Mine are all straight.  I've been thinking about a locator and would love for someone to post a pic of their Hill with the locator.

Never mind.....I saw Ben's Wesley with a locator on another thread.  Apparently, it's a mild locator that looks similar to a dished grip.  I like it.

yes all of mine has a locator grip its great.

I go strictly with the straight grip.  Once I got the hang of that grip I don't want anything else.  My friend Dave Wallace builds the Wallace Mountain longbow (IBO world champion with it by the way) and he recently built himself one with a straight grip and says he shoots it better than his dished grip bow.

My Hill has the dished grip, which I love when I'm shooting it all the time, but if I hang it up (to shoot something else) for a length of time it seems like to takes a long time to get used to it again. I always wanted to try the locator on one.

I shoot mostly straight and dished, and have come to prefer the dished grip, but like others above I'd like to try a locator.

I preffer a larger, straight grip on my Hill bow.

Straight grips, which I prefer, and very mild dish grips. I actually don't shoot the locator grip as well as the others, but that's just me!

I like a mild dish grip on my HH,but have and shoot all three styles of grips.

My first was a locator and my second was a dish. I prefer the locator but have no problems with the dish. In case your unaware, Craig has two size grips, a large and a medium. Best give him your hand demensions when ordering or measure the grip on a HH bow that you like and provide the measurements for accuracy.  

I prefer slightly dished, then straight.  My lighest Hill has a locater and I shoot the poorest with it.  You left out a type, foreward handle.  I prefer it to all the others.  Bill

I had a Hill styled straight grip until last Saturday morning.  Reason it is now a custom grip is that after practicing with it all summer and fall bare handed the first deer hunt was a cold morning that demanded I glove my hands.  I have average to small hands and this grip was 2"+ in depth.  With the glove on it felt like a completely different stick in the hand.  Needless to say I missed what I was shooting at.  I made up my mind at 6:30 am this past Saturday that it would get an overhaul and thus it did.  I like a small grip and now I have one, with curves, too.  Yes, I like it better.  I am not opposed to straight grips but they need to be faily small in diameter to suit me.
I am going to try to post a pictorial on the grip work before too long.

Hill locator grip:

Thanks Jedi.

Straight grip for me, thanks.  :-D

 

If it looks a bit dished, it's just because I'd just been shooting and squeezing the sap out of it.

Straight grip for me on my Hills style bows.....just seem to suit me better . having said that , i have not shot much else over the past ten years ....

straight or slightly dished! I tend to torque it with a locator
