grips

Take off material where you feel the most pressure against. The entire grip shoul fit to your hand comfortably. You could use fine sandpaper or a dremel tool with caution. It does not matter where you remove as long as you do not cut so much into the grip. Otherwise it will be better to get a difere...

Contact lenses, lasik or Glasses RX

Hello,

I have Astigmatism.
I am wondering what is the most used by shooters with my condition and why.

I would like to know what you prefer, contact lenses or prescription glasses.

What are the pros and the cons.

Has antbody tried lasik surgery and what was the outcome?

I am sure the coach will be very happy if He finds out that one of his students is calling him those sorts of names online. You should be happy for 2 things, 1- you are young and have a lot of time to learn, practice and become a better shooter. 2- you actually have 2 coaches where people like me ha...

have someone check to see if your gripping properly. sometimes your trigger finger is tensed without you noticing and cause it to be near impossible to pull. It feels as if my trigger finger is cramped and I try to loosen up the grip but then the gun moves around as I fire and if I grip it hard it ...
