I just bought a Shrewd grip for my Bowtech, but after looking at the Bowtech grip, how do you remove it, and how do you attach the Shrewd grip? I can't find a set screw or anything, is the grip glued on?
Thanks for any help.

probably double sided tape or weather strip adhesive holding it on.

Last time I took one off it was glue.

You might as well plan on destroying the factory grip. There ain't no removing without destroying. If you try prying the edges with a screwdriver you'll mar up the finish. The best way I've found is to take a dremel and go right down the middle, (no need to go all the way through the grip) then use a screwdriver to pry apart.

I have heard of people heating it up with a hair dryer and then "sawing" it off with a long piece of serving. They were able to save the grip without destroying it. Never tried it myself though.

I replaced mine with a Loesch grip, I destroyed it, I used a flat head screw driver and pryed up on the bottom to loosen it and then go after the sides. it came off in pieces, I was instructed to use masking tape on one side of the metal riser until the new grip fits snug, but not real tight, if its loose you just keep layering the tape on, when you get the right fit use some waterproof sylicone to glue on the grip, it doesn't take much.

I just always take a screwdriver and a hammer and crack it right down the middle. This is the way bowtech instructed me to do it.

This is exactly what I have done on all mine.
