Bow grips

solo cams, split limbs, should be lots of speed there to fling the grafite shafts. When I was shooting alot I could never get a grip that I liked, would always take the grips off and shoot without it. Shot that way on my tournment bow and hunting bow. great job

From one old bow hunter to another” twang-thud”or maybe thats for the motor city madman. Know him? I did way back in the late 60s when he was with the Amboy Dukes. He played in Lansing MI quite a bit. He claims he never did drugs thats bull. I hate to bust everyones bubble but they don’t call him the madman for nothing. I saw him eat his quitar and almost electrocute himself at a place called grandmothers in Lansing.

Matt,
Great looking grips!

I am in the process of up grading my current PSE bow, and I have about decided to go with the Bear Lights Out.

I have never considered replacing grips with those of my own design. Great idea…any hints you can offer?

Thanks For sharing!

mike…The Wackmaster is one crazy dude to watch on TV…love his music but too over the edge as hunter for my tastes.

I like those grips. I used a moldable type on my bow about 20 years ago. Still shooting the same one now. I shoot a Browning 60# recurve, never did like the feel of a compoud.

woodnut- I tried shooting without grips and just couldn’t get nice groups! What kind of bow do ya use?

jockmike2- That guy is just plain nuts. :p

ND2ELK- Thanks bud, then I first had them on the started to cup a bit (about 1/8, 3/32s) then after a week or so they settled down perfectly.

HeirloomWoodworking- I brought the bow at Cabelas. When I was there I got to shoot a couple including the PSE. They sure are nice bows but the Bear just fit me much better. I’m a rather big kid and the PSE (I forget what model) felt small. My brother has a PSE and he loves it though. As for tips, I milled the the small burls to width, I can’t remeber what thickness I want to say 1/4, 5/16ths. Took the old grips off and traced them. I then cut the grips out with a copping saw leaving a 1/16 heavy. Then I just used files to shape it to my liking. Sanded it out smooth and threw a coat of linseed oil on it. Drilled a hole for the screw and the rest is history.

Everyone else thanks for your responses!

Good job.
It looks like they came on it.
Thanks for sharing.
