So I shot my legacy yesterday and decided I don't like the grip so I'm going to hunt with my Ovation instead. I think it should work fine, I just really can't get used to the stupid grip :doh: I'll probably just put it back up for sale.

The only problem is the arrows I have use glued in points. so I'm going to shoot my X7 Ultre-Lites 2612's. It should work pretty well as placement is the important thing and I'm a pretty good shot plus with the diamater of these arrows it will be like a broadhead going through anyway.

It should be a cool challange since my bow isn't camo but Deer can't see blue any way I should be good to go. I think I'll set my 4x scope at about 30 yards so I can shoot out to 40 yards to kill deer.

the only hard part is fitting my arrows in the quiver but I should only need to take one so I'll probably just not put a quiver on the bow.

I can't wait for season! :rockon:

Heck man that stinks...
What about a Shrewd grip or just holding the riser with the grip removed ?
My Ovation grip is already 'un-glued' so I'm going to try and shoot it with the grip off it for grins...

I had the same problem....I have shot Dartons for years and loved their grips.When i bought a new bow back in the spring it took a while to get used to it...even though i liked it when i tried it out.I guess it's true..grip/feel is a very important factor when buying a new bow.

Put a SVL wrap on the grip and shoot with gloves......:caked:

a shrewd grip for a 4 year old bow? those aren't exactly laying around eveyrwhere... either way I like my Ovation. I hope I have enough KE to get a full pass through

I do hope you plan is to fit those 2612's with broadheads, right?

I can't the tips are glued in but they are really sharp for target points and they are pretty big to. I figure they will act like steal jackated pullets and just do all the damage on the way through. they are wide enough!

why dont you take yours arrows to your pro shop and have then replace the tips with screw in broadheads are a must

Please if you dont change them arrows to screw in broadheads please dont hunt this year. You need to use broadheads.

stirin the pot:crazy:

I thought every state had a minimum cutting diameter for broadheads???:caked: Unless your bow will shoot 3,000 fps you won't be harvesting any deer this year.:doh: :doh:

Any Mathews grip from the last 4 years will fit on an Ovation (not sure on the Drenalin). The grips are all the same size where they attach to the riser. Any grip that fits a Mathews bow will work on your Ovation. I suggest a Tronjo grip.....:peace:

I'm thinking it should be fine. Sort of like using a FMJ bullet. If its good enough for the US Military then its good enough for me! :usa:

Heck Dred, a .223 doesn't mushroom out much more than those 2612's anyway and they're legal to hunt with right? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

why dont you just change the grip over from your ovation????:frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

The only lethal shot with a target tip is a head shot :cool: :tape:

40" a2a is hard to manuver in a tree stand and I almost broke the scope when hauling my Ovation up into the tree but It made it! I was going to shoot a doe but my lense kept fogging up... no more AM hunting for me, I'm going afternoone from now on! :frusty:

heck yeah! Getting up before the sun just ain't natural! If my ancestors didn't hunt in the dark and they survived then why should I?
