Thumbhole vs Traditional Stock

[bigbuckonly1]

Thumbhole vortex- wouldnt have it any other way.

Function over form.. My vote is Traditional stock for safety.

I don't own any of the Thumbhole stock models, i have shot them. I found the safety was no problem & in the future i will purchase one of them

I prefer the traditional over the TH because when you have arms like an orangutan . A longer stock is more comfortable .

[Pydpiper]

Traditional for me too.
We have one of each here, my body seems to prefer the traditional stock.

My M14 didn't have a thumbhole stock. None of my rifles or shotguns have thumbhole stocks. I choose the Exocet 200 because it doesn't have a thumbhole stock. If God wanted man to have thumbhole stocks Walnut trees would grow with thumbholes, without need to drill holes (and knot holes are not holes).

- or -

I'm just an old fart unwilling to change or try something different.

If you have large hands like I do the thumhole stock is easy to hang on to. I can hold it well with one hand by my side. But like what everyone has said its a personal choice.

i hVE Had most models and like the thumb hole very much just takes a littel getting used to .thy is raly no difference in using the safty if you think about it you are just moving you thumb same as both styles of bow .DUTCH

I've had both and yes, personal preference is a huge factor BUT I've discovered, that when adding accessories such as camera mounts, range-finder holders... the thumbhole stock is much more accommodating! Just a thought to keep in mind.

thumbhole, it feels like i have a better grip on the bow than the traditional, go to a cabelas or other hunting shop and shoot each on side by side and see what you like best
