checkered grip

[tj69]

What do you think about a checkered grip?
Is it so much better then a "normal" grip?
Or is it just a matter of opinion?
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.

To me it's great especially when it's raining.

I wouldn't have a bow without it after having a Schafer with a checkered grip.

It's just me but I don't care for checkered grips. Ofcourse it not just bows. I shot hanguns for years and I'd rather have a good smooth grip that fit my hand. I like the smooth leather grip on my Shrews and the smooth wood of my Great Plains Swift. For me if the grip fits my hand it feels better smooth.

I completely agree. However, checkers are OH so purty to look at.

I like stippled grips, when hands are wet or sweaty it just makes them feel more secure.  Doesn't seem to help my groups!!! lol

i love mine i shoot palm down and to me it makes a big difference

Sometimes I had a slippery feeling on my grips,I would like to try at least one for my next bow.

My Dale Dye has a checkered grip and I love it.

Who can you get to stipple a grip ?

[MJB]

On my Silvertips    

[Dave McDaniel]

Both my Tip and Robertson are checkered. I love it!

Bahrzoo,

You can stipple the grip yourself.
Tim Golder has a very good HOW TO on this forum.

Look back 3 or 4 pages and you should find it.
If not, do a search on STIPPLIED GRIP on POWWow forum.

It's easier than you think.

Interesting Billy,thanks

I don't know if I shoot my bow with the checkered grip any better than ones without it...but it SURE does feel nice!!

[limbow]

Like it quite a bit--My Silvertip's and Dye's have them.

Love mine on the Schafer.
Had a Bob Lee with it and it was great also. Wish I had that one back.

My Thermal has a very sweet checkered grip;



I have had other bows with checkering also. I can honestly say, not all checkering jobs are the same.

I just traded for a Bob Lee that someone had done. Feels great.

I really like a checkered grip. I live where it's hot and it just feels secure. My hands get very sweaty. Only thing is...I've only held them and never shot one.
