My new to me long bow arrived Monday. I had fun shooting it for a couple of days but as the week progressed I decided that I do not like the grip. So I decided to let it go. See the ad in the unclassified classifieds.

It is a handsome bow. First thought I had was that swell looked like it would cause a high wrist position. ( I learned via this thread that the hand hump is called a swell. Thanks DRT and 60Deluxe ) As far as Ive gathered a high wrist is the most unstable wrist position...argueably the hardest wrist position to repeat consistently for developing repeatable shot cycle.

I have some high wrist bows that work pretty well. I have found through trying many bows that I naturally prefer an almost straight grip similar to a 1957 Kodiak. But there is something to be said for grips that force your hand into the same spot every time that you hold the bow, but this one has a ridge that was not placed correctly to fit my hand. It was a irritating as having a skinny gal sit in your lap. After a few minutes it gets pretty uncomfortable.
