WTF does your prom picture have to do with shooting a rifle?

Google "Froggy's style", look at some of the groups he's shooting. Don't wrap you thumb over the stock and float your little finger. Position your thumb behind the safety-this keeps you from torquing the gun as you pull the trigger. Break the trigger using just the tip of your index finger-this will make the trigger weight seem much lighter (especially if you are used to putting a lot of your finger across your trigger). This method has really helped me and several of the shooters that I'm around. Your opinion may not be the same but you won't shoot better groups than he does.

Several years back I stopped wrapping my thumb and like it better. Don't know if it's better or worse, but I prefer it now.

With my light rifles I grip the fore end and with the heavier ones I don't. It's which way the rifle shoots best.

davidlea, I googled "Froggy's Style" and I got (new sex position). I swear !!! So I tried, "Shooting Froggy's Style", and I found it. However, I have not found anything addressing the grip yet. I am shooting an Anschutz .22 benchrest and the safety is on the left side. It would be difficult placing my thumb on the safety although I see where you are coming from. I will try that next time to the range.
