If you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for the shooting sport enthusiast in your life, look no further! The Complete Combatant has you covered with its LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk.
Brian and Shelley Hill did their research and couldn’t find any liquid chalk on the market specifically designed for shooting sports. So they decided to fill that need with their very own LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk, a MUST for all shooters.
One of the significant benefits of using The Complete Combatants LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk is that it dries sweaty palms, improving your connection to the firearm and bringing your attention to the “action” of shooting.
LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk can bring awareness to your grip’s form. Losing your grip during shooting means you are no longer able to complete the task at hand or to continue shooting safely. LockedIn Grip will ensure a LockedIn Grip every time.
LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk can increase your grip strength, yep … research has found that the increased friction with the use of liquid chalk over long periods of time can deliver surprising positive results regarding grip strength.
Another benefit of using LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk is that it can provide an extra layer of protection, shielding your hands from pesky shooting “wear and tear” injuries.
LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk is less messy and has NO dust like normal dry chalk. Liquid chalk will dry on your hands within seconds as the alcohol evaporates, leaving you with very dry, evenly chalked-up palms.
Most commonly asked question: Can using grip chalk in training hurt my grip in a personal protection encounter?
One solution is to put liquid chalk on your hands at the beginning of each day (and/or throughout the day), especially if you work in a field that may require you to “go hands-on” or shoot, but for most of us, this is a cumbersome requirement.
As shooters, we often do things in training that are suboptimal, such as no concealment, no movement, shooting a different pistol, using gloves and shooting stationary targets. Yet we believe training to be important to our competence and therefore worth the risk.
One challenge for shooters is that sweat, oils, sunscreen, and moisturizers often lubricate our hands. This lubrication allows the support hand to slip on the primary hand without any real feedback during the process. The grip is managed both visually (how the sight behaves) and by feel (how connected we are to the pistol).
Repetitions that are mindful and include an immediate feedback loop help build automaticity in our skills so that the shooter can apply meaningful context. Not immediately noticing the feel creates bad habits, such as milking the support hand. Grip chalk creates an immediate feedback loop (.25 seconds or less) through friction and tactile acuity (feel), making each repetition more meaningful and allowing corrections to be preemptive or corrective during execution. If our practice creates a stronger connection to the grip and we practice trusting or correcting our grip, we will be better shooters.
Much like a gymnast or powerlifter who has trained their grip with chalk, they can still perform a repetition of a pull-up or a deadlift without grip chalk. As a grappler, I have used grip chalk in training, but I have still been able to grip opponents in a defensive encounter because my practice allowed me to notice when I was losing my connection sooner.
Training (competition, self-protection, performance, aka the shooting sports) should impart a deep understanding of how our hands manage grip through a feedback loop, achieving a grip that absorbs recoil without inferring further error into the shooting. The importance of good reps in training to build competence is more meaningful overall to proper grip in all situations.
