gripping a Dbow

(1/2) > >>

StickMark:
Where do you guys grip your bendy handle, or slight bend in handle, bows?

Pat B:
I make symmetrical bows with the center of the handle the center of the bow. I grip the handle with my middle finger on the center point with the arrow pass across my hand, about 1 1/2" or so above center.

StickMark:
Does the lower limb get stressed more?  I notice my lower limbs take about a half inch or so more set.

Pat B:
Leave the lower limb a bit stronger.

bjrogg:
I do the same as Pat. I do keep the better limb to the bottom. It should balance in my hand when I draw though. Sometimes I just have to keep shooting and flipping them over to figure out which way it seems to shoot best if their isn't a noticeable difference.
