David, how do you like that 'deep core' grip shape on your Alpha, compared to the standard Hill grip?  Have been thinking about getting a Hill with that grip design (straight wedge, like Hill preferred) but still not sure I'd like it.  

How would you compare the two grip designs for how they feel/shoot?

TSP, well, I'm not real picky as to grip size and shape like some guys are, so have several different grips on bows I have, but I really like the narrow wedge shape.  It really makes you grip the bow the same every time. In my opinion it gives a much more consistent and repeatable grip.  Grab it wrong and it lets you know pronto.   :D   That translates into more consistent shots for me.  Once you get the feel for that grip it grows on you. It is not uncomfortable at all IF you grip it as Howard Hill said, like you're picking up a suitcase.  By that he meant to hold the bow at your side in a horizonal position, string up, and imagine it's a suitcase handle that you're picking up.  Now just gently close your hand and the big knuckle at the base of your thumb will be just right of the center of the grip (if you're right handed--for us lefties it's the opposite).  Feels a bit odd at first but lots of guys like it a lot after they shoot that style for a bit.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.
