Offhand Positioning

[Talyn]

When it comes to running your rifle, grip and stance are very important. One item that gets lost in the weeds many times is the position and use of the offhand or support hand.

This hand and position are very important in that it helps not only drive the gun into the shoulder. It also helps manage recoil and muzzle rise. Over the years, there have been a number of variations of the offhand position.

i use my offhand position by gripping the mag/magwell and putting that hand's elbow against my torso. works for me and very steady regardless of my breathing

I come from a time before all this fancy stuff and vertical foregrips. I was taught the old 7 O'clock and still use it. Anything else just doesn't feel right after all these years.
I have tried a couple of vertical foregrips and they just didn't work for me.
C-clamp- NOPE! Uncomfortable for me.
I have used the magwell grip when shooting from a bench with a rest.
