If you've ever wanted to ditch the traditional grip and shoot directly off your riser, the Mission Side Plates are exactly what you're looking for. Small upgrade, real difference. These plates give you a slim, minimalistic grip profile that puts you in direct contact with the riser — less material between your hand and the bow means more consistency, less torque, and a cleaner feel at the shot.
This is one of the easiest performance tweaks you can make to your Mission bow.
What the Mission Side Plates Do
Slim Grip Profile — Shoot Off the Riser
The Side Plates replace the standard grip and create a flat-backed, minimal contact point between your hand and the bow. Instead of wrapping a grip around the riser, you're essentially shooting straight off the riser itself with just enough coverage to keep things comfortable. A lot of serious archers and bowhunters prefer this setup — less grip contact means less chance of torquing the bow at the shot.
Fits Any Mission Vertical Bow
These aren't model-specific. Mission built the Side Plates to fit any Mission vertical bow, so whether you're running a Range, an older model, or anything else in the Mission lineup, you're good to go. Available in right hand and left hand.
Personalized Fit and Feel
Every shooter's hand is different. Some guys want a full grip, some want nothing at all. The Side Plates land in a sweet spot — enough structure to define your hand position, slim enough to feel like you're in direct contact with the riser. If you've been shooting your Mission bow and the stock grip feels too bulky or inconsistent, this is worth trying.
Who Are Mission Side Plates For?
These are for Mission bow owners who want more consistency at the grip, a slimmer feel in their bow hand, or just want to customize their setup. They're also a natural companion to the Mission Range, which was specifically designed with Side Plate compatibility built in. If you're picking up a Range RTH and want to fine-tune your grip game, grab a set of these while you're at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Mission Side Plates fit my Mission bow?
Yes — Mission designed the Side Plates to fit any Mission vertical bow. Available in right hand and left hand configurations.
Do Mission Side Plates work with the Mission Range?
Yes. The Mission Range was specifically designed to be compatible with the Side Plates. It's one of the most popular add-ons for Range owners who want a slimmer, more customized grip feel.
What's the benefit of shooting off the riser vs. a standard grip?
A thinner contact point between your hand and the bow gives you less surface area to inadvertently torque the riser at the shot. Many serious bowhunters and target archers find that a slimmer grip profile leads to more consistent arrow flight and tighter groups over time.
Are Mission Side Plates hard to install?
No. They're designed to swap onto your bow without any special tools. If you want us to install them and check your setup while you're here, our techs are happy to take care of it.
Do Mission Side Plates add significant weight to the bow?
No. The Side Plates are a lightweight, minimalistic accessory — they're not going to meaningfully change your bow's balance or mass weight.
