[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1669014, member: 2736"] Free recoil is when there are no restraints on the weapon. and it is allowed to move freely. With this method many weapons will physically hurt you. Some control of recoil is best. The amount of grip/hold varies from weapon to weapon and shooter to shooter. I was taught that if you wanted to hold tight, you had to be able to hold that grip for 15 to 20 minutes steady if you want it to be consistent. even though you don't normally hold over one of two minutes, you wont be as consistent as the hold that you can hold almost indefinitely. Being consistent with your hold is more important that how hard it is and a medium hold for you, may be a hard hold for someone else. The hard hold has the benefit of better dampening harmonics but it is hard to duplicate time after time and limits the number of shots that are consistent. so at some point a crushing grip will degrade the accuracy. In my opinion after shooting many 100 shot matches, a firm but relaxed grip was the best overall because it was natural and repeatable. Some of these beast we shoot will injure you if you don't hold on to them. But if you grip them to tight trigger control and consistency is out the window. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
