Looking at these for the VXR, what’s the consensus on these? I get it, every bow and grip fits people differently but do these help in keeping bow torque at a minimum vs the rounded engage grip?

I have a buddy that has two VXRs. One of each length. He has a Bee Real on both of them and loves them. I'm not a fan. I just can't get comfortable with it.

All I can say is to try one. Maybe find a used one?

I have one on each of my two VXRs (28&31.5) and absolutely love them. The first generation were pretty lame because they look like they were made in a 3-D printer and you would actually have to file them down a little bit to get them to fit the integrated rest. The ones that have been made in the past several months are perfect. They fit like a glove and help with torque, at least for me. Where I primarily hunt taking far shots is something that should be expected. (Axis deer in Hawaii) these groups definitely help me hold on target better. Because they are also what some would consider a “high grip“ type, they will actually change your drawl link feel slightly. I actually like it because I shoot Mathews bows and I am a true 28 inch draw, (and Mathews drawling always runs a little bit long) so this makes it feel closer to my actual drawl length.

Very comfortable in the hand. I was shooting off the rider and this spreads out the pressure on the thumb. Happy with the purchase. It is a higher quality plastic as compared to most of the Ultraview 3D printed stuff. I wouldn’t use that stuff for a grip.

Yeah I could see that, that’s probably why they recommend not using any glue or adhesive at all when installing the grip. The one I am looking at is a new grip that has never been used before, so for 40 bucks it’s probably worth it I suppose and if someday I break it taking it off my bow well it’s just 40 bucks at that point I waste more than that on a few beers with the crew on the weekend👍👍

Haven't had a new one but the old ones and other ultraview grips are cheap 3D printed plastic grips. I broke one just removing it from the bow - very fragile.

And they are WAY overpriced! The quality of the new Bee Real grips looks better - still overpriced IMO. You may or may not like the feel of them. They tend to have a thicker feel to them so if you like beefy thick-backed grips you may like it. If not, you won't. For whatever reason I liked the feel of an Ultraview on the Halon-X I had but didn't like the feel on the VXR.

Had the Uv grip for my vxr and sold it right away. Reason was it shortened my DL a good amount after shooting off the riser i would say about a 1/4 inch. I would have had to of ordered new mods and tune again. After I got rid of the nock low tear which was a nightmare I didn’t want to mess with it.

Loving the one on my rx4 ultra. Makes the grip nice and narrow and also angled back a bit which fits my grip perfectly.

I see adding a 1/2” to draw as a positive, that’s 3-4fps for free. My vxr shot bullet holes out of the box, I only added a 1/2 twist to cable after 200 shots to get it back on time. Been solid ever since. 👍
