Definition
Grip in clay shooting refers to the way a shooter holds the shotgun with their hands. A correct grip ensures control, stability, and smooth gun movement, which are essential for consistent and accurate shooting.
Further Explanations
The grip affects how the shotgun moves with the shooter’s body and how recoil is managed after each shot. Poor grip often leads to inconsistent swings, wasted energy, or missed targets.
Key aspects of proper grip:
-
Front hand: Controls the direction of the swing and supports the shotgun’s weight
-
Rear hand: Controls the trigger and stabilizes the gun during recoil
-
Pressure balance: Firm enough to control the shotgun but not so tight that it restricts fluid movement
-
Consistency: Repeating the same grip builds muscle memory and accuracy
A good grip also works in harmony with stance, mount, and follow-through.
