PRS Where do I put my thumb? Seriously.

For our guys it depends on the stock or chassis you're using and it can change during the actual stage.

Caylen Wojcik laying down some knowledge on grip (including thumb placement) and trigger press. Gotta download the IGTV app to watch the whole thing.

In a nutshell, thumb is neutral. It doesn’t apply any directional pressure. Trigger finger position (90 degree bend of second joint) is the priority.

I have been thinking about playing in the precision rifle series. As I think about mechanics of the precision bolt action rifle and do some research, it seems there are two camps. Camp one is grip it similarly to pistol and AR. Camp two is place thumb on same side as trigger finger. Recommendations please.

Where your thumb goes is secondary to proper trigger finger orientation- figure out the trigger finger, then build your grip around that.

There is an online training module that is on snipers hide. Lowlight- Frank G. did most of the videos. I think his teaching appears to be very good. (Between reading his posts and some video I have seen years ago)

I did not read this before I posted- it is THE ANSWER.
