[QUOTE="bubbas, post: 250731, member: 5179"] Roy, I love that design, although it may be a tough one to patent..lol. Your question about The Claw placing pressure anywhere along the chamber or barrel length possibly affecting accuracy, particularly at longer distances, is a very valid one. This was our first thought as well and thus an intensive point of testing. Our results, and the results of many experienced long range shooters, was that The Claw did NOT change the point of impact of the bullet. You can shoot a group 0f 4 shots alternating shots with and without The Claw attached and you will shoot the same group as shooting all 4 shots with or without The Claw. Secondly, you can establish and confirm your drop chart off of a bench and then reproduce the same results shooting off The Claw. If this was not the case we would not be using and recommending The Claw because our hunting methods revolve around most accurate shooting. That is why The Claw is so exciting because you can shoot those long range shots (to whatever yardage you are equiped and comfortable with) as previously done but now can do it under whatever shooting conditions present. We assure you this is the case. Let me expound on this point. First, we recommend attaching The Claw under the action of the rifle in most cases as this is close to the balancing point on most rifles. When The Claw is placed at the balance point its benefits are maximized such as locking the crosshairs on target, etc. In this case, even theoretically, the worry of pressure changes is eliminated. What we have found under many testings is that even when you attach The Claw under the chamber or anywhere under the stock/barrel, which is necessary with a barrel heavy rifle, that there is ZERO point of impact change. This is confirmed well past 1000 yds. The reason for this is that first it would take an extreme amount of clamping force to clamp the chamber enough to change the internal ballistics/pressure characteristics of the cartridge. We have tested the clamping action of The Claw at this juncture and have not been able to clamp at a force to achieve this negative result. Let me clarify that we were clamping at a force that is way beyond what is necessary to attach The Claw securely and appropriately.

So in summary, The Claw has ZERO change in bullet impact when attached to a rifle. This means you can have extreme confidence in the rifle producing the same results when shooting with The Claw under hunting conditions as you achieve when you shoot off a bench! [/QUOTE]
