Shrewd Grip vs. Ultraview Beereal for Mathews VXR

[Bluetuna78]

I Love my new VXR but I'm having issues with maintaining a consistent grip with the thin engage grip. Looking for feedback on the Shrewd and Beereal. I shoot QAD fixed blade heads and since my arrows are a touch short I like the idea of the extra finger protection with the Beereal. Thoughts?

I just ordered the beereal last week for my Mathews vertix. I think I’m having grip issues as well. If the grip settles too low in the palm I tend to shoot right. I’m hoping I’ll be able to keep a consistent Grip with the beereal. I looked at the shrewd, but the website said it may have clearance issues with my rest so I went beereal.

Thanks. Let me know how you like the Beereal grip.

I as well was a bit uncomfortable with the grip, I just took a roll of vet wrap and it seemed to help out. Cost 2.99.

i had the hda kit (had both the wide and narrow girps) on my triax that helped a little. the mathews bows of late that i shot were particular on grip. some like low wrist and others like the triax shot better with a high grip. the adjustable helped figure that out for me. recently i sold the bow

Thanks. I will mess around with some tape or move to a different grip.

Looks like the HDA grip has a flat contour like the shrewd and beereal and that looks to be a more stable design. Thanks

I had same issues with my Traverse. Ordered a Shrewd and don't like it, it is just to slick. My hand wants to slide way up in the throat with to much pressure. Ordered my BeeReal 2 weeks ago, still waiting. Been shooting it with no grip at all lately. If the BeeReal doesn't work for me I will be ordering some side plates I guess.

I have the Ultraview BeeReal grip on my Traverse and VXR. I really like it. It definitely feels chunkier in your hand but the back is flat and very repeatable. It adds a bit of angle as well which suits my grip well. I haven't tried a Shrewd engage grip but I did have one on my TRX and I switched it out with the Jesse Broadwater grip and I like it better.

I chose yet wrap because it won’t leave a sticky residual behind if removed

I had issues as well took my grip off wrapped with head tape . Love it .. its a touch long now when I draw but I'm getting used to it and have been shooting alot more consistent rather than left or right

I’m glad to hear there is more angle. I think that is going to help my grip. My last bow had more forward angle and felt more natural.

On my VXR 31.5 I had to remove the grip as well. I went with the engage side plates and they’ve been good so far.

I think I will try the BeeReal and hope I achieve a repeatable grip as well. The shelf seems to provide good protection from BH's as well. Thanks

The side plates might be an option as well. Will look at those.

How did you place your order? I've been checking the website and sent an e-mail to their customer support and the website continues to state, "out of stock."

Here's a photo of the hda with hunter pro on it.

I like that it can be slick as it allows the bow to slide right to a natural sitting point on the thumb pad. Less likely to torque than the factory grip.

I just looked back at the website and they are all out of stock. I must’ve ordered at just the right time

I ordered the same day as you and still haven’t gotten mine
