I run both (15" & 10") and I think you get used to it. I don't bump it into anything, you are aware it's in your hand and the front bar is the only one you need to get used to. Its pointing away most of the time anyway.
I have got the Easton HITS epoxyed in and I'm a lil scared to try this. I want to put in new inserts but I'm thinkin that I should just use these for TAC until I lose em, ha.
