Okay, lately I've been seeing lots of vertical fore grips and angled fore grips mounted way forward. I sometimes assumed it was either from lack of proper instruction or some giant with ergonomic issues.
All the professional training I've received taught me to have the VFG (if present) as close to the rear as comfortable. A tight small package with easy weapon retention and control.
But now I'm seeing quite a few professionals/competition shooters using a grip position that seems to be as far forward as possible, or at least much further than my old ways.
I know that what competition shooters do will continue to change and evolve, as will what goes for tactics and combat practices. Is this the new school of thought for competition?
Every time i try the the forward grip, my time on target, time between shots, and transition time between targets rises by no small margin. Am I missing something here?
