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. I had no...

Re: Grips: natural point of aim and cant

Hi Runescape,I have to ask; what is your dominant eye; Left or Right eye? I'm cross dominant, left eye - right handed. Your first photo is an exaggerated view of what I saw until I started buying grips with a seven degree offset. When I first started shooting Bullseye in the early 1970's, there wer...

Grips: natural point of aim and cant

Hello, I am a completely fresh pistol shooter, and I have got my hands on an air pistol (hämmerli AP20 Pro). I have some questions about cant and grips, see pictures and question below. When I grip the air pistol and hold it up to a position of "natural point of aim" where my arm is stretc...

Re: Grip sizing

I would like to know this as well. I am a new shooter and have just purchased a hämmerli AP20 Pro, with a medium sized grip as I measured approximately 90mm across the palm. Gripping the gun, I think it feels little bit too large, as my thumb does not rest naturally on the thumb-rest, but with no pr...
