One thing I believe that comes in to play more than many others is our own personal body geometry. It is for this reason I am not a huge fan of trying to copy someone elses holds. I have very very short pudgy fingers and short arms compared to other people 6 ft. 250 lb. with a 52 in. chest. That is why in Golden Gloves competition when I was a teen I beat so many peoples fists up with my face.
I have to use the jr. LOPs and work out the rest on my own.

I find it interesting that the previous commenter is looking for resources to study before trying something new. One of the things that I generally do with a rifle that I have not shot before is to try different approaches to how I shoot it at the bench to see if it favors one style over another. You don’t need anyone to verify that something works when you have everything necessary at hand to test a different style of shooting. Just pay close attention to what you are doing, and let er rip. Who knows, you might find a different way that works better. To get different results you need to change something.

This article does illustrate how the coarse variables can bury the effect of the fine variables!

Interesting article (where’s Shooter #2’s picture?) I tend to use the wrap-around grip, and I now see the potential flaws with it. Does anyone know of any resources – internet or otherwise – that talk about grip for benchrest and/or long-range varminting? Thanks!
