Abstract
An interface between an archer's hand and an archery bow is provided whereby low friction, slidable movement of the hand at the hand-bow contact point is made independent of the bow. Lubricated latex rubber is disposed between the hand and the bow by means of an archer's glove, or a permanent or removable grip.
