Great illustration of the Artillery Hold, mercs!
 And don't forget "Follow Through" - a much under-rated additional technique to be used alongside the Artillery Hold..... Springers need TLC!!!!

I put about 150 pellets through today , a mixture but 125 Gamo Hunter and the shoulder hold with very little front interference was the go. Let it do its thing and I'm still learning how to do mine with this particular rifle. Some promising signs, despite the wind gusts at Lake Heron. Crow Magnums, Hornets, Baracuda Hunter all grouped OK, conditions aside.

Great idea mercs.
Encouraged me to do the same as ive never actually tested different holds. Bottom right has a marked pulled an no extra shot ( thought i took it) thats the artillary hold. Other pulled shot,reshot. I forgot to do one with me holding the forestock as well. Its more accurate than tested on bag.. No wind to speak of. Gun is a magnum. How i hold this gun. Just below firm pressure on the shoulder stock. Above light though. Hand wrapped around forestock in light grip. I prefer to hold it closer to trigger end like this If i need to grab further down the stock for whatever reason the fingers are barely touching the side. Basically the thumb and index finger are holding the stock.  Edited by kruzaroad - 2 hours 26 minutes ago at 11:34am |

Nice chart! never seen that before.
Seems accurate too. Most of it is in the control of the right hand, for me,according to the chart. That would be dead right. Missing a couple of half fingers on that hand does change the grip. Then that tidies up on the "how I shoot" target. When im comfortable with the grip.I know I shoot tighter holding the forestock as well. So i guess im compensating with my left grip as well. Still things to look at and improve on cheers. Got a left hand chart as well. Or that just mirror image. |
