I've been struggling with my shooting for some time now. I'm a left-handed shooter. My shots drift to the right. I've read 4 books on shooting and watched many videos. Still my shots drifted. One of the problems I had was that my support hand kept drifting forward and off the gun, even though I put rubber grips on my gun.
Last week for some reason I moved my support-hand thumb from the side of the frame to the back of the gun: below the beavertail, and below the base of my strong-hand thumb. Suddenly I felt I had a much better grip. I shot some rounds and my support hand didn't slip forward, and my shots were right on.
Yesterday I shot about a hundred rounds with my support-hand thumb on the side of the frame. Again my shots drifted and my support hand kept slipping, so I again tried my new "thumb behind the gun" grip, and again my shots were right on.
I've never heard of this kind of grip. I'm curious to know why.
Thanks,
Randy
