Re: Grips: natural point of aim and cant

What is the angle of your feet/hips in relationship to the target? I had a fellow shooter who stood almost 45 degrees to the target and with the orthopedic grips he would have to flex his wrists. If you stand 10 degrees or less in relation to the target you may not have to flex your wrist.

For example # of shots to get an X...If I took 8 shoots to get an X, I would collect 3 points for that exercise. So for this exercise I needed an 8-shot s...
