    I think the idea is ingenious. But for me, holding/gripping the bow properly gives me the results I'm after. Let us know how it works for you.

    I can't wait to buy it. I saw a demonstration of it a couple years ago and I'm sold. Just can't quite justify 100 bucks yet for a grip when other gear needs upgrading.:)

    I picked one up at the IA deer classic the other week. I'll be doing a full blog/video review on how to install it and use it, along with my impressions. Probably do that sometime this week.

    Nice I can't wait for the blog/review. I'll give my impressions so far: I installed it Saturday and you have to wait 24 hours after the first gluing process to actrually install the grip. I just attached the grip last night and it felt a little different because the grip is so large compared to my normal grip (Iceman Bow). At full draw you can torque your hand around and the riser does not budge one bit. It gives you just an overwhelming relaxed fixed feeling once at full draw. It also shortens your draw on you because of how it installs, so I guess my draw shortened by a 1/2 inch or maybe more. So those of you who want a little more speed you can lengthen your draw an inch and get some extra zip. I experimented with it for a while and it is nice to just pull back and let your hand relax and not have to worry at all about how you grip the bow, it is a really relaxed fealing. Im shooting tonight to give it the real test. It will be a nice add of confidence come late season when I have all those clothes on and not having to worry about torquing my grip.
