Just stumbled across this thread..
This is an area I know I could do with advice on.
As I grip the bow...and I mean grip it!
I try to relax during the draw but at about three quarters to full draw I start gripping it, hard.
I cant seem to put faith in slings (though not tried a finger sling - only the wrist type slings often on beginner bows) as they aren't 'there' if you get what I mean.... hard to explain really.
If I dropped it with a wrist sling I know the bow wouldnt hit the ground but as there is no positive contact from it its kind of like a safety net..you know its there but you still dont want to fall.
(bit of a bad example - I am full of bizarre examples like that so apologies!!)
In my grip, my little finger is away from the riser (like a pinky while drinking a cup of tea for yet another slightly odd example
)
But the rest of my hand grips the bow for dear life.
Can anyone suggest a technique to prevent this?
Could it be that my bow grip is too small or too large or too high / low etc?
I am about to buy a new riser in the next month or so (got about £350 saved for one) but would be useful to have a potential pitfall ironed out so I can speak with the shop about it.
Kind regards
Jaarus
