How should you grip your gun for optimal control?

Gripping the gun high under the tang with a 60% pull and 40% push provides the optimal control necessary for effective shooting. This grip technique allows the shooter to maximize their handling of the firearm, ensuring that the dominant hand has a firm hold while the support hand provides stability and control.

The "60% pull and 40% push" technique refers to the balance of force exerted by both hands. The strong hand works to pull the firearm into the shooter's body, which helps with recoil management and target acquisition. Meanwhile, the support hand applies a pushing force, further stabilizing the gun during shooting. This combination enhances accuracy and control, particularly during rapid fire or when dealing with recoil.

Grip height is crucial; positioning the grip high under the tang minimizes the distance between the shooter’s hand and the bore line, reducing muzzle rise and improving overall control during firing. This grip placement also allows for better alignment with the power zone of the arm, contributing to a more natural point of aim.
