nose/thumb weld

Post by Sir Henry » Fri Mar 25, 2016 12:28 pm

I'm posting this in the rimfire section as I'm not sure I would want to try this with a centerfire. With the H001 and iron sights I'm able to put my nose against my thumb that is crossing the tang. This gives me a quick and accurate same place position for sighting. It's similar to putting your nose against the charging handle of an AR15.

Anyone else do this?

I just thought I would bump my own thread.

I find that I do it sometimes. I don't like to do it. Usually I will consciously move my thumb before firing........usually.

Hey it doesn't hurt on a .22LR or even the M16. Its not like I'm shooting a 45-70.
