I was reading an article in a woodworking magazine that said to easier control a skillsaw cutting a straight line to place your thumb alongside or on top of the hand grip rather than folding it over.
That got me thinking...I have always shot a rifle (non-pistol grip) with my thumb over the stock, rather than along the top or side. I have seen pictures of both ways, and indeed, Hollywood has played it up in "Sergeant York" in the scene at the qualification range.
My Army field manuals, show thumb over stock. Many pictures on you tube and several gun forums show the thumb on top or alongside; or both ways.
I'm curious, what do you do, and why do you hold it that way?
