Your videos and hunter constantine’s on grip has made me more consistent and more articulate

[@robepifania]

Awesome! Hunter is the man too!

[@gamedaydad8138]

These tips are solid! I watched a grip video by JJ Racaza about a year ago where he discussed relaxing the middle finger and using the lower fingers for the majority of the grip pressure just like you said. Can't get a much better endorsement than that!

[@robepifania]

@@gamedaydad8138 JJ is awesome and gives out great information as well!

[@jamessinor1988]

Very good explanations…. However my low left seems to be more offset by applying more support hand palm pressure, and keeping elbows in… vs rolling elbow out and applying wrist roll in pressure… would be nice to hear thoughts on keeping support palm on gun especially for those with smaller hnds

[@robepifania]

Thanks! only issue with rolling elbows IN is that elbows are the movement point and that could cause the muzzle to rise more from the elbows, a relatively behaved gun that "bounces" so to speak. I typically tell people middle knuckle of the index finger is centered around the trigger guard. This means less fingers contacting on the right side of the gun for a right handed shooter, but it allows the hands to connect better on the left side of the gun. For someone with smaller hands, I'd experiment with that location so that the hands can meet together nicely if possible. Having the hands working together as a system will always yield better results than each hand independently trying to grip the gun if that makes sense!

[@Psyque23]

Great videos! Question, I remember one expert said to push with your right and pull with your left. (For right handed) would that work? Thanks in advance.

[@robepifania]

@Psyque23 it is A way to do it as well! For me personally I don't like it as much BUT some really like it. I actually posted another video on this style of grip in my video feed as well 😁

[@jpradasdiez]

nice

[@robepifania]

@@jpradasdiez thanks for watching!

[@godzillaburger9690]

I don't think of my 'support hand' as a support hand. I think of it as my control hand, cuz that's what it's doing. It helps my shooting a lot just to think of that hand differently. Good video.

[@robepifania]

@godzillaburger9690 great way to think of it too! I always tell people to take what others teach them and make it their own. They'll remember and apply it better that way 😁

[@godzillaburger9690]

@@robepifania So, I thought you might like to hear an update after implementing your tips. I changed the position of the grip in my hand to line up better with the bone in my forearm and I thought about the horseshoe, trying to bend it out of shape. Last night I was practicing doubles at 10 meters, as this was a big problem for me at my last match a couple weeks ago. I was slow and the shots were not grouped well. After shooting 7 mags, the final 2 groups were great. The more I thought about the horseshoe, the faster and tighter the groups were. I finally got a complete mag in the A zone and I got my sights on target faster from a low-ready position, and my sights fell right back into line after the first shot, allowing me to get the second shot off much much faster than I previously could. I could go on and on about the improvements in my shooting from just one short session of using your advice. Thanks! Looking forward to more videos!

[@robepifania]

@@godzillaburger9690 Thanks so much for sharing that amazing work and results! It sounds like you are about to hit another gear with these things you're learning and that is so exciting to see! I'll bet you felt really good about it too! Writing it down somewhere (in this comment in this case) also helps you remember it for next time and help increase the rate of progress as you develop it! If you need anything I'm always here to help more, just reach out and ask :)

[@godzillaburger9690]

@@robepifania Thanks a lot! It was really satisfying to see those results in static shooting. Tomorrow is IPSC training. I'm looking forward to it even more! Now to implement the practice with movement and multiple targets. :-) Next hurdle. :-)

[@Jrock628]

sometimes my groups go high right every now and again (right handed shooter), what could be the cause of this and how to fix it

[@robepifania]

I JUST made a video on this last week and we will be posting it in the near future! UP AND RIGHT for a right handed shooter typically relates to the gun position in the hand. Trace your forearm bone on your pinky side into your palm. Where that ends up is where I like to have the backstrap of the gun placed in the hand. This means when you apply pressure with the firing hand into the grip, the back of the gun is fully supported. It REALLY helps with a cleaner trigger press and it's an eye opener for a lot of students of mine!

If you can only pick one drill for practical/USPSA competition, what would that drill be?

[@robepifania]

Man that really depends. I have one that involves movement, blending positions and position entry all into one drill that I really like. That with various targets is an all around great one with a lot of ROI
