How much do your "Cam" your support wrist?

The "thumbs forward" grip is an important part of the modern isosceles stance. Almost everything else about the stance is dictated by the grip: wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips and feet to a certain extent. This article talks a lot about the grip but not at all about the modern isosceles, which is what Enos and Leatham use. This grip, in my experience is actually somewhat difficult to do in a Weaver since it forces your wrist to “cam” too far. It’s uncomfortable for me, at least.

If you want to learn more about modern isosceles and this particular grip, check out these two sources:

Andy Stanford’s Surgical Speed Shooting
(Don’t let the title fool you, the first half of the book is a scientific examination of the modern isosceles stance.)
 
i cam my wrist as far as it takes to get my thumb parallel with the bore and to cover the exposed portion of the stocks under the shooting thumb. my objective is to bring the top of my forearm in-line with the top of my thumb
