--- Quote from: Ranger B on April 20, 2010, 07:17:30 pm ---Reality is that your grip is what the bow grip makes it. ie. "you are heeling the bow" well if the grip is made that way then you heel. If it's a modern recurve then you'll not heel because they are make so that you don't heel. you hold the bow the way the grip is made. The moral of the story is, for all the bowyers, make the handle "grip" so that you hold the bow they way you want to shoot and not just the way that is convenient. If you leave a lot of meat in the handle early on then you can make it pretty much any way you want it.

To an extent, but I've seen folks heel recurves that should be shot with a high wrist before. It's harder to use a higher wrist grip on a low grip handle, but it's easy to mistakenly use too much heel regardless of the handle design.
