Hi guys.
Recently due to my work schedule I have only been shooting 1 or 2 days for the past few weeks.
Last week I shot for about 45 minutes then a couple of hours later I started shooting again but I was unable to grip the pouch with any strength in my thumb, I felt a strain in my wrist and my forearm so I stopped shooting there and then, believing I'd strained a tendon or a muscle in those areas. I'm shooting my new SPS with 1745 tubes on and I draw deeply but not too much so, I've shot heavier bands in the past and had no problems, so I'm a bit puzzled.
This week the exact same thing happened again. I'm starting to think that my pouch grip was a bad one to begin with and I've been reevaluating my technique. I also checked out a video a member posted on here about "trigger thumb" but I'm not sure if that's what I'm experiencing.
I've been looking for any youtube videos on pouch grip technique and Nathan of Flippinout has a good one where he recommends keeping your thumb straight, whereas I think I was gripping with the tip of my thumb which made my thumb bend at the joint.
Any tips on good grip form and if anyone has some warm up pointers?
