The Ryker Method: Side-Mounted Grips

If you shoot guns a lot, recoil is just a part of life. As a competitive shooter, it is something I deal with all the time under high-pressure situations, and I use the tools I have learned to trust to help me excel on the range. I am not one to buy into gimmicks, so when a product comes out that touts the ability to change the way you shoot and make it better, I get skeptical. But sometimes they offer a surprise.

Ryker USA makes products meant to improve recoil management and fatigue while shooting. Called the Ryker method, a unique handguard grip and sling work together to reduce pain and increase shooting abilities.

Over the course of the first-ever F.I.R.E. Expo in Immokalee, Florida, I spoke with Ron Holmes, the owner and inventor of Ryker. I learned why he designed this system and how it truly works. By the last day of the event, we put the Ryker grip on my shotgun so I could test it out myself.
