XLR thumb rest opinions

[rclouse79]

I am toying around with ordering one of the xlr thumb rests for my element 4.0. I wanted to check here to see if anyone had opinions, or if someone has one they would like to sell. Thanks!

I have one on my chassis and I like it.

I think I have a spare 3d printed one, pm me if you want it. You can have it for the cost of shipping.

I really like it.

Thanks for chiming in, I just ordered one.

Sorry to sidetrack this thread, but what side do people normally put this on? Dominant hand side? Opposite side? Whatever is comfortable for a person?

As thumb rests go, it’s a good one.

It goes on your bolt side.

It goes on the same side as your dominate hand.
Right handers right side of the chassis
Left hand on the grip left side of chassis

I don’t have my chassis in front of me but I was envisioning trying to reach my thumb to the other side and got a contorted look on my face

I tried it and it wasn't for me.

Happy to sell mine to someone if they're interested.

I recently purchased a chassis to try. And when I was setting it up, it felt more comfortable for me to be on the opposite side, but far back. Now I’ve never taken a shooting class and probably have poor form. But for what I am used to, it felt more natural there for me. I guess more of a question is where is it supposed to be and should I be changing my form to match?

I am kind of in the same boat. The last couple time I shot with the xlr chassis, my horizontal spread was bigger than my vertical spread. I assume that is due to me and am hoping to clean up whatever the issue is.
