Question Riser Hand Grip - Silly Question

I have just gone to order a Jager hand grip for my Nexus from Linecutter, and can't decide if I have order the right thing.

I am a right handed archer and so hold the bow riser in the left hand.

Do I need to order a right hand or left hand grip? Anyone know?

NA

Right handed grip. RH bows are held in the left hand and Left handed bows are held in the Right hand.

Maybe another silly question - but is it possible to actually put a hand on one of these somewhere in the UK, besides if someone in your club has one?

Timely question as Postman Pat has carded me to collect mine in the morning. I'm left handed but if you want to see one in the flesh so to speak drop me a pm.

Very easy to deal with Jager direct and quick delivery too from the states. Only paid for it on the 31st Oct and here today. With the exchange rate the way it is it seemed like a worthwhile punt at £30 odd quid!!

At present I believe it is only Linecutter that are supplying these in the UK. I am not sure if they have a shop, or just deal direct.

I think you are likely to be most likely to get paws on one if you put a general question out for people in your area. There may well be quite a few on this board.

I have one, but think it unlikely I will be anywhere near you....unless you are shooting at Evesham on Sunday.

I also got mine direct, but I was in the States at the time, and shipping from Colorado to California easy.

Ah, thanks for the offer Lividpig! But it looks like we are quite far apart...

I haven't actually been able to find anything about why this might be a superior grip. I'm just a bit of sucker for "custom made"

LividPig, NoAngel and I are all about 20 miles apart...

If you want pictures I can email you a digital pic, but I am sure what you really want is to feel the rubber non-slip bit, and the fact that when it meets your hand, the prominent ridge seems to just say "there is only one place I am ever going to sit"

Hi,

Firstly try emailing Linecutter (sales@linecutterarchery.co.uk), or

If you are coming to either the Berkshire Indoors, or the Surrey Indoors, my daughter has one on her Nexus.
