Nice weather making bow grip tricky

[Brianpaul]

Has anybody tried Henselite Wilgrip, which according to the tube is a concentrated Sports grip and the "tackiest" non-slip Sports Grip.
You can either lightly smear it on the hand or riser grip.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

I started wearing a golf glove fairly not long after I took up archery seriously, and I find it does the job nicely. The only down-side I have with my current one is that the dye in the glove sometimes stains my hand a nice blue colour!

I have a tiny square of racket grip to make my handle sit nicely and not rub me to bits. I don't grip the bow though so it just rests on my hand and doesn't slip.

A liberal coating of beeswax [the one you rub on your string - not the polish!] on the handle, should do it

first time this happened to me was the same day i had my first 1200 fita.

10108 10108 nearly every end at 30 mtrs 7 o clock 8 third arrow.

was shooting with paul taylor he told me to get the tennis hangle grip scape the sticky off the back and bostick it to the handle used it ever since.

cant remember what paul had on the fita but the york was 1256,,,, 123 golds

was with a compound though yr 1999 or 2000.

I use a piece of suede stuck round the handle and then talcum powder on my sweaty hands - I want the hand to settle into the same position each time, so don't really want it to grip too much - just rest the bow in it.

As someone else said - if it slips round then its probably not in the right place to start with !

Physio Sport liquid hand powder called "Grip"
We were given it for the games in Atlanta or Sydney to test, it worked really well.

I've been using golf gloves for about three years now and wouldn't go back to a bare grip. Golf gloves are cheap too!

I have to agree with OB. Golf gloves are great!
My hands get sweaty indoors more than outdoors and it really helped me!
