Before you go about saying that the sling is designed to do the same, it is primarily more of a load bearing device to help you carry a weapon over long distances. However, carrying a rifle especially when holding it to eye level and pointing at targets over longer durations, you can experience issues of muscle fatigue and cramping.

That is where foregrips come in and oh boy, the market looks saturated by many offerings of vertical and angled forergips all designed to help you aim your rifle better and faster while helping reduce the fatigue building up in your arms when shooting during the day, either with real steel ammo or plastic airsoft BBs.

Now, here comes a product that is claimed to do better than most grips in the market. But when you look at it, it’s like holding a potated mounted on the side of your rifle’s handguard --- the Ryker USA FIST Grip.

Patent-pending the Ryker FIST Grip was designed by Ron Holmes, formerly of the U.S. Marines Force Reconnaissance and Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command and it claims to provide the following the benefits:

• Increased Speed
• Improved Accuracy
• Enhanced Stability
• Rapid Target Acquisition
• Superior Recoil Management
• Dominant Eye Alignment
• Ergonomic Optimization
• Efficiency of Movement

The design of the FIST Grip by Ron Holmes also takes into the consideration the inputs from Special Operations Professionals, Special Operations Physicians, Law Enforcement Professionals, and Professional Competitive Shooters. This means, that a lot of thought and empirical research has been put into its development.

For those who have put the FIST Grip through its paces, they have been pleasantly surprised that faster times they get when using it with percentages in shooting improvement going into double digits. Even smaller increases in faster shooting and accuracy will spell a difference between life and death in many situations. Read this review from The Truth About Guns for you to start making your own assessment of this device.

It may not give you the best shooting form as compared to the vertical and angle foregrips, but if you are looking for speed, accuracy, and endurance carrying a rifle, then you might consider the Ryker FIST Grip.

Made of Polymer, you can order one right now at the Ryker USA website for US$74.99.
