I'm just not fond of the grip style for the kind if shooting I do, it's clunky and slow moving from a ready position to on target.
I've never seen or heard of anyone using it on a lever spoon, but it can't hurt to try......like this

But thumb more parallel to the barrel at about 11 o'clock.

I'll break out my 94 tonight and mess with it and grab a pic

Put the thumb down alongside the barrel pointing forward like some people do on a two handed grip on a semi-auto hand spoon is how I picture what you are saying?

I can have her check it tonight. Looks like it would be awkward with a traditional stock. I have an image of a gooney bird in my head now.

Yeah, that's the idea....not sure if it'll work or not, definitely have her wear a glove when shooting though.

Just swung by the PSA store.....there was some COD commando showing off the HK416 and Elcan spectre he just bought with his moms credit card....

The point more than anything is to throw the wrist out of alignment with the forearm so as to allow the support hand to apply pressure linear to the bore into the shoulder.

I was thinking she should try it with her regular hunting gloves to see if she can get a good grip with them.

For the spoon shoot she has a nice set she wears for airsoft.

I hear the Lapua match .22 ammo is pretty darn good, does anyone have any experience with it? I have a 3" target they hang at 65 yards that I have a hard time hitting with the .22 revolver. I think some of it is the ammo since I hit everywhere around and inside the hanger all the time with the cheap Remington hollow points.

Thanks for the offer Rick, but I've found a place locally to do it. This way I can take the whole damn car to them if it doesn't work. And with my recent luck with shipping companies, I know it will still be whole when the process is done!

I was getting a workable sight picture at about 10:30-11 even with my fat hand and noticeable increase in stability

Man, Microsloth sure builds a LOT of job security into their products. A LOT. It is a MAJOR ordeal to move our email from a Microsuck Exchange Server, to a Microspit Hosted Exchange Account...Major.

The good news is that it looks like I will not have company email working for at least 2 weeks. Great solution Microslut.

Evening Y'all
I am glad that day is in my mirror, and now they are calling for frozen mixed crap to be here for my morning commute.
I ran out of work today about three and after about fifteen mins of boredom I grabbed the purple power and the pressure washer and started to find the concrete under the crud on the floor. I detest a nasty shop so looks like I am going to be getting this one back in shape

I wonder if the new wife told him he can't play with us anymore

Well remember he did not think much would change after marriage.

Broke a front spring on the town 1 ton plowing today so we put the wing on the grader.
Guess I'll see what kind of damage I can do with that tomorrow. Snow banks need to get pushed back anyway.
