I picked up some racket tape and some gel griptape used by downhill cyclists. Both about the same price per pack. Nearly identical stuff apart from the branding and the racket tape has perforations, presumably for sweat. And you get 4 times as much gel tape for your money. There isn't any binding off tape with the gel stuff (you get bar end caps instead - anyone want any?), but the amount that came with the racket tape would be insufficient to go all the way round my bow grip anyway so I'm using electrical tape.
First thoughts are that it's certainly a little more comfortable, but I'll need to get out to 70-90m to see what's really going on.
I've also started playing with my sling. I've used a finger sling for 15 years so it's a bit of a wrench to change. I also don't want to bow to fall too far or move too far out of my hand - putting more strain on those bones/joints. So I'm experimenting with a band around my wrist hooked to my finger sling still on my middle finger. It's just a matter of getting the legth just right.
