This guide details a precision rifle shooting technique for pistol grips, as demonstrated by former special operations sniper Ryan Cleckner. It focuses on modifying the grip by placing the thumb over the top of the pistol grip to reduce torque and improve accuracy, especially on platforms like the AR-10 or bolt-action rifles with chassis systems. The guide also covers optimizing ambidextrous and short-throw safety levers for better manipulation during precision shooting.

Iain Harrison of Crimson Trace provides essential grip techniques for AR-15 platform rifles. He explains how a 'rope grip' or 'thumb over' on a long fore-end aids recoil control and target transitions in 3-Gun competitions. For rifles with shorter fore-ends, he recommends using a vertical foregrip as a safe and effective alternative for muzzle control and driving the gun between targets.
