Looks good!  If that wrap will stand up to a horse, it should do well on a bow!

I love a simple osage longbow with an A1 tiller and comfy handle. Very Nice!

No sir. Did the picture myself with my cell phone and it flips it. I can barely shoot right-handed I wouldn't dare try to shoot left

I have used that vet wrap for perches for hawks.  Gives them a good solid non-slip grip. One hawk is very particular about perching, she loves it.

I had never thought to use it for a bow grip, though.  Be sure I will give it a good ol' try-out!

Good looking bow Paul, and looks like a real shooter. I have used the vet wrap for over a year now. I use it durring my tillering as I use a hanging web harness an it grips really well with no slip. I like the look of a nice leather grip but I do wrap over that for hunting season, the cushion and almost glue like grip works out real well for that.
