Hi,

I've noticed a great many posts on this board devoted to developing grip strength, a topic near and dear to my heart.

Here's some great resources:

Wrist strength: http://www.geocities...frey/lever.html A serviceman with a strong grip

Overall Grip Strength: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?. Mountain climbers, strongmen, benders, etc...

The Master: http://www.ironmind....ps/GripTip.html John Brookfield - grip Yoda

Which will benefit your shooting the most? Sledge levering and block lifting, your hands and wrists will get very strong in a hurry. Forget about all of the silly gyro do-dads, go saw the heads off some hex head dumbells and get to work. Block lifting will make you forget all about your desire for a light trigger job, your fingers will get that strong.

Other things that will develop your grip:
1. Russian Kettlebell Training, most especially the snatch done RKC style.
2. Deadlifting
3. Chinups and pull-ups
4. Grabbing sand: this sounds funny, but go to Home Depot, get an orange bucket and a 50# bag of play sand. Dump the sand in the bucket and grab and squeeze. This makes for a great warm-up prior to a heavy grip work out. Once you are done with your intense flexor workout, go back to the bucket stick your hands down as far as they will go and force them open, this is great training for the extensors.
