I really like this thread, and I keep coming back to read it from time to time.Originally Posted by Jay Cunningham
I hope Jay does not mind me bumping it with a question, vs. a new thread, because what I'm asking is kind of related.
With regard to the above point, in particular, the bold, does this necessarily argue for a more "support arm locked" approach?
So today I was shooting with some friends that were visiting Tampa. One was a young USMC officer, so I took the opportunity to ask him to critique my stance. (I understand the USMC knows a bit about marksmanship )
After looking at me shoot low right (as a lefty), he had me try locking my support arm elbow much closer and tighter to counter my trigger hand grip tightening.
Wow! After I did this, I immediately saw my groups at 5 yards shrink by 1/2. It was...pretty amazing. It felt much more solid and stable.
So, I came home, did some research, and thought I would ask what you guys thought about this suggestion. Since this thread is so useful, I wondered if this was what Jay was getting at in the quote (and bold part) above.
Thoughts?
