In this one I did something a lot of recurve archers talk about, but I’d never actually tried: I modified a grip to fit my hand properly. I started by showing a few stock grips I’ve collected off different risers—some are okay, but a lot are too wide or just don’t let the bow sit nicely. I also showed an aftermarket Aros grip I like (nice ridge and texture), but it doesn’t fit the riser I actually want it for, so I decided to go custom on my Nika ET11 grip (same grip as my ET20). I used Milliput epoxy putty, cleaned the grip with acetone, then mixed equal parts and sculpted the shape I wanted—mainly bringing the grip angle up (I’m chasing roughly a 55° feel) and adding a sharper edge where my hand wants it. After it cured, I took my ET20 Tectonic out to 18m and shot a few arrows. Even with an untuned “lobbed together” setup, the grip felt solid, didn’t budge, and honestly just hugged my hand. Big takeaway: generic grips get you close, but if you want consistency, a grip that fits you matters. The best part is I can potentially 3D scan this shape and 3D print repeatable versions for my other risers.
