Wow, I watched her and then Julie Goloski. Blazing.

[fbuckner]

WOW ! what alot of motion I would have broken my leg somewhere in one of those courses. No wonder some folks bash ipsc and idpa they cant move like that. Static shooting that is not. Run and gun

[KayL]

That's why the 'kids' have an advantage. It's more like an obstacle course!

Nah, I could do that...I'd just velcro my extra mags to my cane for easy access.:fa:

[San_Marco_Training]

Range Master: Cease Fire! Cease Fire!! Who said to fire!!!!!!???????
Me: Oh Sorry! That was just my knees crackin'

No problem. Just use your cane gun.

One more item on my ever growing 'want list'. IIRC, these aren't legal in MI are they?

[KayL]

Is that poster dated 1838?? Maybe as a C&R? Check with your local expert in MI law... JimS.

I move through a buffet in much the same manner. You should see the speed and precision with which I can switch from the butter knife to the steak knife, and I'm like a ninja at the prime rib table! :glutton:

LOL

[RifleGuy]

I'm not a competetive shooter, so please don't interpret the next comment as criticism, but Ms. Daguenel's grip seemed unusual; the left thumb flying high.
Obviously the young lady is very adept and quite obviously that grip is working very well for her, I've just never seen it in use before; I've always been taught to keep the thumb down, it adds strength and support to the grip.

Any comments from some of our instructors and competetive shooters would be appreciated.

[KayL]

Most of the competitive IDPA/IPSC shooters use both thumbs forward grip, right alongside the slide. Her weak hand thumb is unusually high for what I've seen also.

And stop criticizing. Jeez.

[lee]

Maybe she uses the high thumb as a wind indicator. All I know is I hear a lot of target clanging as she hits the steel.

[gsbell]

Any comments from some of our instructors and competetive shooters would be appreciated.

Look at Todd Jarrett's grip video for perfect execution of the thumbs forward grip. Ms. Daguenel's version isn't exactly to the standard but it obviously works for her. You do tend to get better recoil control with the off hand cammed forward more.

have to remember hand size, vs grip size for fit.

those with large hands vs small hands vs certian frame and grip sizes.

not all works for everyone.

My issue is huge mitts

on this gun my support hand thumb rides high due to how close my thumb is near muzzle in my standard thumbs foward grip but high grip allows great recoil control

vs this gun

which i can go thumbs foward.. and slightly lower

Ya big sissy, get that thumb in front of the muzzle once and it won't be a problem again! :grin: :thup: :poke:

Kind of a "trim to fit" thing!

My problem is small hands/short fingers; I've got to cock my hand to the side to reach the trigger on most guns. With a proper grip, my trigger finger rests nice & safe next to the trigger, but can't make the bend to get on the trigger. Screws up recoil control / recovery time a bit.

[One of Many]

Why not use the support hand to pull the trigger, and properly place the dominant hand to aid recoil control and aiming? I know of no rule that the trigger must be pulled by the first finger of the dominant hand.

[RifleGuy]

I never thought of that :banghead: :oops:

Something to try to learn! Still doesn't help w/ one-hand drills, but still, might be worth trying for target work. Thanks!

Be careful, you might just start "bumpfiring" that auto loader if your support hand breaks its grip with the other.

Well, that would certainly liven things up a bit, add a degree of surprise, and perhaps anxiety for those nearby!! :uzi:

Ahh, to be 40 years younger.
