Does it really matter how you hold or grip your bow? We all realize one most not torque or grip too tightly, but does hand placement really matter, as long as you shoot a relaxed hand?
I see so much emphasis put on hand placement must be at a 45, grip on the meaty part of thumb, down the lifeline with fingers flexed back on outer grip., etc.
Over the last few years, I adopted this hand placement and tuned for a bullet hole, and never thought much about it. But recently after checking the tune of my two bows I verified bullet holes with both bows using this hand placement. Then out of the blue I decided to check each bow just gripping the bow like you would normally be picking a bow up, with the hand more into the grip, but a relaxed grip and both were still bullet holes.
