treefarmer Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I would like to know what your hand/hands position ( exactly where your strong and weak hands are positioned ) while shooting. I understand the higher the grip the better recoil control. Just how high do you place the support hand? Thanks for all advice T. F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a good video on YouTube of todd jarrett showing proper hand positioning. Try searching for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swatcop Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Your strong hand should be as high on the gun as it can be, functionally speaking. Your weak hand fingers wrap around the fingers of your strong hand that are on the grip. The meaty part of your weak hand will then rest on the weakhand side of the grip. Both thumbs point forward with your strong hand thumb on top. Your weak hand should be rolled forward creating an angle. That angle is the key. It is rolled forward almost like a rams head. That angle will create a strong grip that will help you control recoil. That's about the best I can describe it without a photo. Goggle Bob Vogel or Dave Sevigny and check out a photo of them. It will be obviously what I am describing when you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy kemlo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 find a good shooter with good fundementals and have him show you in person. It will feel weird at first but practice at home until it feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
