Just a little Tip.

I bought a Pearson Spoiler last year and love the little sucker. It puts out some great speed and it's nice and light. They solved the stability issues of the past and I have a freezer full to prove it.

The one issue I had with the bow was the size of the handle. I have big hands and the little handle led to a lot of torque issues and some arrows going places I didn't want them too.

I was sitting at the fly table and saw some Crayola Model Magic sitting around that I had made some poppers out of.
It's a waterbased moldable foam that hardens in about 24 hours and can be re-sculpted if need be. It comes in a couple diffferent sizes and colors...i just happened to use white. and a bigger piece than in the pic. I bought mine at Michaels Crafts but crayolas website will tell you where to find it.



I grabbed a big old piece and wrapped it around the grip of the bow and squeezed. It made a perfect handle that was custom molded to my hand. I put a quick wrap of tape on it and set it aside for a few days. Well a year later and the grip is still perfect and has fixed my problems with hand torque.

Just a simple cheap way to help your accuracy.

I tried that one....it wasn't thick enough. This one is about 1.5 in on one side and barely anything on the other. It makes it more natural to hold the bow properly in my palm.
