TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 5 - GRIP
About this video
McPhee teaches proper rifle grip mechanics, emphasizing that shooters should maintain approximately 90-degree arm angles and use a 200% grip with both hands rather than the commonly taught 60/40 split. He demonstrates with a guest shooter how correct body mechanics, including push-pull movements between the firing hand and shoulder, minimize recoil and improve accuracy and speed.
Key takeaways
- McPhee argues that keeping the rifle closer to the body and maintaining 90-degree arm angles provides better stability, accuracy, and trigger speed than extended-arm positions
- McPhee advocates for a 200% grip using both hands equally, rejecting the 60/40 grip mentality as a dangerous misconception that trains the brain to hold loosely
- McPhee teaches that proper push-pull mechanics—where the firing hand pushes back and both hands pull toward the body—keeps the rifle locked against the body during recoil and firing
