Grip Training for Shooters

Build your grip, shoot better

"One of the contributing factors of succesfull high-performance shooting lies in your ability and skill in controlling the handgun during the recoil cycle... none is more fundamental than strength in the hands, wrists, and forearms.

These are at the core of my shooting hand strength program."

Ron Avery, 8-time senior natural champion; president, Practical Shooter's Academy

Rotational arm strength

Wrist Reinforcer

“For rotational arm strength (to control gun torque in recoil) we decided on the Wrist Reinforcer, a leverage bar with a weight loaded on one end."

Focus solely on the wrist--forearm with the Wrist Reinforcer. Lever it, do hold-outs for time, try circles and figure-eights--and work your wrists and forearms into one very strong and very solid unit.

One Wicked Wrist Roller

If you don't have forearms like Popeye, give this wrist roller a try and start working those lower limbs, making them an offer they can't refuse: fall off or grow bigger and stronger. The Wicked Wrist Roller trains your grip, wrist and forearm in a flexion/extension movement, like when doing wrist curls (regular and reverse). It is designed so that you train both concentrically (winding up the cord) and eccentrically (allowing it to unwind under control).

“Building the muscles to withstand repetitive gripping and recoil shock as well as evening out the strength of the different opposing muscles is crucial to maintaining healthy hands and arms."
