As barebow shooters, do y'all prefer high or low grips? And do you have a preferred grip model (from R-core, Jager, stock, etc)

I seem to prefer high grips for outdoors and low grips for indoors. However, I feel I'm more precise (better groupings) with a high grip and more accurate (more 10s) with a low grip at indoor distance.

Low grip better suits string walking in barebow, and a high grip is better suited for Olympic recurve. This doesn’t mean folks won’t venture outside of the norm.
As far as Jager and R-Core, they are both good. They each have pros and cons, but ordering from Greece is pricey especially for just one grip. R-Core gives 3 (maybe 4) options for grip finish/material. RCore, if I remember correctly, make more grips for a variety of bows outside of your typical Gillo, Hoyt, W&W, etc. Jager typically all have the same feel with their pad, but you typically pay more for colors in the grip. Plus, Jager is a US company so contacting/dealing with them should be easier.
