El CupAJoe Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Is slip hammering strictly a two handed technique or do duelists and gunfighters perform slip hammering as well? If you do duelist slip hammering, is there a certain way you hold the gun to manage the mechanics better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have done it as a Duelist. But must say. It's a BAD habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Elmer Keith experimented with some success, but felt it was not possible to shoot that way along with the more traditional style he used with great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Big Tree Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 My suggestion is don't slip hammer. The top shooters I know don't slip hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Vendetta Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I shoot primarily traditional and I have slip hammered basically the entire time I've shot the sport. I will say that it took some time to get past some misses but I feel faster than when I started. How much of that being slip hammering vs just general improvement is hard to say. Either way practice is key. If you don't practice it you won't get better with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have a hard time doing it as a duelist my hands are just too small. I know a lot of two handed shooters that do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ethan # 94321 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I can see how a two handed shooter could do this with practice. As far as one handed shooters, sounds like a good way for problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
