Hi,

While watching a couple of videos of Jacob (Straight back behind the rifle & Recoil management/comfort) I noticed that he really gets his hand high on the AW chassis pistol grip to the point that his middle finger is bent down because the trigger guard is in the way. Is there a reason for this? Does it help achieve a more straight back pull?

I can see why you'd want to do it with a Remington 700 in an AICS because the stock trigger is quite curved and doesn't come as close to the bottom of the trigger guard as the AW trigger. As such, you really need to move your hand up to great a straight back pull. But Jacob is shooting an Arctic Warfare so I'd like to understand what he's thinking.

Thanks...
