Took my wife shooting for her first time today

One possible reason for “teacupping”: many women have long fingernails. When gripping the pistol correctly, the fingernails of her strong hand may dig into the support hand, especially during recoil. I’m not defending teacupping, just saying I have felt fingernail bite myself if I let them get too long. Getting a woman who is proud of her long nails to trim them short just so she can shoot “properly” might be a task. Getting different grip scales could make it more comfortable.

I tired TeaCuping and it’s not that bad. I always thought it was called Cup & Saucer. I also like 1 hand shooting too

We had a Spousal Observer at IDPA yesterday. I recruited her heavily. She said "As soon as the physical therapy gets my shoulders to where I can level and hold a gun."

Does CED cause the right handed shooter to hit to the right when shooting a handgun? My son was hitting 9-8 rings to the right of the X-10 rings most of the time he was shooting.

His bit of anticipation flinch would send some shots low, bit he was consistently hitting to the right the whole shooting session.

Stay safe.

Long time ago...he's 30 now.
It was causing both of us frustration because he couldn't call his shots.
He was auto correcting for it. Chasing the holes which just made it worse.
After telling him it was ok to move his head a little to get his left eye behind the gun, he figured out the physiology on his own.
Still shoots rifle lefty but can do both in a pinch. And he's ok with that.
