My team ended up taking 2nd place in the State Championships. I still have the trophy. Murdoc, FWIW, that same finger-tip position was taught to me back in the 60′s by the Daisy BB Gun instructors.

They also hadn’t learned to keep the finger off the trigger until ready to shoot!

I don't see many cheating, violent, or even uppity husbands in their futures. Except for #2- she looks like she'll be using her skills on a succession of losers. I believe the current DC high school girl's shooting activities are somewhat more individually based. And instead of Winchester single shot muskets, they use Lorcin and Raven products.

Extend your fingers and make a V with the thumb on the opposite side. Rest the forearm of the rifle on top of the thumb, index and middle fingers. It gets a bit tiring, especially on a 10-pound+ rifle on your fingers. Thats one technique, another is by wearing a shooting glove, make a fist and lay the rifle on top of the fist. I prefer the palm rest, but you can't do that on service rifles. Yep, its the offhand position used in high-power rifle, 3-position, 4-position.

You'll see that same stance at rifle metallic silhouette matches today.

This tends to work fairly well for people of reduced stature- less height means shorter arms.
