In this video, I take my recurve riser and modify the grip to fit my hand perfectly. I start by showing the stock grips that came with the riser, along with an aftermarket option I’ve tried. Then I use epoxy putty to sculpt a grip that feels just right for my shooting style. After letting it cure, I head to the range and test the grip by shooting a few arrows to see how it performs. I’ll also talk about my future plans — including possibly 3D scanning and 3D printing a version of this custom grip for a perfect, repeatable fit. If you’ve ever struggled to find a grip that feels natural or helps your shot consistency, this video’s for you! #Archery #RecurveBow #ArcheryDIY #CustomGrip #ArcheryTips #ArcheryEquipment #RecurveArchery #ILFRiser #EpoxyGrip #3DPrinting #ArcheryWorkshop #ArcheryCoach 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more archery reviews, tutorials, and test rounds! 👉 If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to: 👍 Like the video to support the channel 💬 Leave a comment with your tips or experiences 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications to never miss an update Let’s grow together as better archers! 🏹 👉 Follow us on social media for updates: If you're an archer looking to take your shooting game to the next level, this review is for you! 🏹 Don’t forget to like, share, and follow for more archery gear reviews, tips, and shooting techniques!

About This Video

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.
