Title: Bow grip????
Post by: mallard79 on January 14, 2011, 08:40:42 PM: I decided to remove the glued on rubber grip from my bow because I didn't like the way it sat in my hand. It was recommended to me to try shooting with no grip, so I did, it is more comfortable and my groups got a little tighter. My problem is that there is some glue residue on the riser that is pretty rough. Is there a way to remove this without ruining the camo finish where the glue is? Is there a thin wrap/grip tape that wont build up the thickness of the riser too much?
Looking for any and all advice you have.

Thanks :brew:
