Grips et Pièces détachées

How to position yourself correctly in your grip?

A good grip handling can ensure perfect target aiming, optimal stability and total control of your shooting power.

To hold your grip properly, follow these instructions:

- Place the grip laterally on the pad of your hand, also called the "thumb pad," located between your thumb and index finger;

- Simply hold the grip with your thumb and index finger, which helps stabilize the bow and allows you to exert all the power from your arm through your hand;

- In this position, the other fingers should not squeeze the handle - keep them as relaxed as possible.

This holding technique helps prevent the bow from moving and arrows from shooting straight.
Of course, beginner archers may not master this grip technique right away. However, with practice and exercises, you can achieve quite good results.

Mistakes to avoid: holding the grip with all fingers, which can cause tension and affect arrow release.

Tips for grip handling

Your hand slips inside the grip? Here are two tips that should help you overcome this issue!

1/ Applying non-slip tape

You know what tennis players put on their racket handles for a better grip and to prevent slipping? Well, don't hesitate: you can do the same thing to your bow handle, over your grip.

2/ Applying a grainy adhesive support

It may slightly irritate your hand's skin, but results guaranteed with a small piece of this type of coating stuck on your grip. What shape? Like skateboard grip tape. No need to put too much, a small piece on your pressure point will be enough!

Our bonus tip: you can also use chalk to prevent slipping in your grip. Although it exists in liquid form, we prefer good old powder chalk!
