Here's the back story ....
I posted a while back that I really like the Hill style bow, but, for some reason the deep grip style doesn't like me. I shoot with a group of friends some of who shoot Hill style bows. Whenever I've shot their H H bows I get a pain in the wrist, a pain I don't get with my more rounded ELB grip. I've discussed this here and been told there are grip shape options that may suit my hand and shooting style.
Well .. I've acquired a second hand 80lb Hill style bow made by Rex Oakes here in England.It's a beautiful bow ... all Yew cores with brown glass belly and back. I haven't shot it yet (due to my back problem) but when I do, if I get the same hand pain, I'm thinking of modifying the grip to make it less deep and a little more round. I will be taking advice from Rex before any modification takes place, but I was wondering if any of you guys had any thoughts on the matter... because I don't want to spoil a beautiful bow.
