| slippy grippy
Advise gratefully received on this one. I've been shooting for a number of years now with a synthetic golf glove on my bowhand, which I generally find gives a nice secure feeling. However, recently I have had some trouble when shooting in the rain. I shoot a hoyt with the narrow straight grip type found on many modern compounds - I've even removed the side plates as I prefer the feel - and position the line of the grip down the thumb pad side of my palm such that the lifeline is to the left of the grip (seen from behind) as generally recommended by many pro shooters. It works great normally, but if the grip gets wet, my hand wants to slip so that the lifeline is right over the line of the grip - not at all ideal I find. Maybe it's just down to the particular brand of glove I'm using now, but I would still like to try something else. I'm especially keen to have a go with some sort of tape on the grip - ideally something that would work better in the rain and not come unstuck, and which would maintain the thin profile of the grip.
Sorry for the long explanation, but what do other people use to give a good secure grip which still works in the rain? Thanks everyone, The Meggy  |
