Get a Grip: Hand Health for Defensive Shooters
August 18, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT
$25.00
Are you suffering from an inconsistent grip? Do you sometimes adjust your hands and fingers while shooting? Have you ever wondered if a different grip technique might improve your marksmanship? Join us for this unique skill-builder with Gil and Maria — two excellent shooters and great friends of CSA who also happen to be experts hand health.
Of all the fundamentals of pistol shooting, the grip is sometimes the most neglected, even though it can drastically affect both sight alignment and trigger control. Renowned defensive firearms trainer Paul Gomez sometimes told his students that while your pistol sights can help refine your marksmanship, you actually do the bulk of aiming with your grip.
That’s why CSA is so excited to host two grip strength experts for a clinic focusing on improving grip and hold control for pistol shooting. This clinic will also cover some strategies for addressing imbalances in the hands, wrists, forearms, and shoulders from repetitive shooting motions and positions. Joint health, all the way up the chain, is an integral piece of having a strong and steady grip.
Guest Instructors Maria Bascetta and Gil Goodman bring years of expertise in the fitness and strength training world, with a particular focus on hand health and grip technique. Improve your sight alignment consistency, recoil control, follow through speed, and overall marksmanship. Walk away with tips, tricks, and information to help you on your journey to better hand fitness.
