els the straight grip an aid in
trap-shooting, and if not what is its
advantage?
''T. g., Terre Haute, Ind"
The so-called straight grip on a
shotgun stock is detriment rather
than an aid to shooting except when
used on a double gun. It's purpose is
solely to facilitate changin gtlle grasp
of the trigger hand when changing
from the front trigger to the rear
one. A pistol grip gives better hold
and this is important, because the
trigger hand properly does most OF
the holding. The forward hand must
mot grasp the gun so firmly, as this
interferes with aiming.

What | want to know is if it affects
the rifle, the eyesight of the shooter
or the flight of the bullet.
"R. T. D., Oskaloosa, Ia"
1t affects the flight of the bullet
precisely the elevation of hits on the
target. A hot day calls for lower
sight elevation than normal, a colo
day the reverse.
