I've decided to give another try to the pouch grip recommended by Bill Hayes to add more power, look videos section entitled "hepful tips for shooting with speed and accuracy", the only difference is that I turn 90° and tweak same way since started with the PFS (dgui way) ... the con for me is the loading difficulty (not used yet this way) ...


I used 12mm steel at about 10 meters to a food can top with my rich latex bands, (estimated speed is well above 100m/s), that 4" extra pull is a big gain in power, there are 2 hits one testing before the video and the second shown ...

Cheers

PS if I remember well was All Buns Glazing who started a thread about this ?

I haven't seen the grip before, but I will try it tonight. Thanks for showing it!
I like to test different ways, experiments .. etc, is true that this grip gives additional power but after shooting all day I am not so convinced yet, I feel it a bit "hard", it does not feel as "natural and fluid" as I like, maybe is to soon to do an assesment ?

Cheers
