I'd like to know if anyone has any solutions for a shooter who is missing the last phalanx of all fingers. We have a boy interested in AP or AR so his hand is small to begin with; I'd like to find a way to help him reach the trigger. A custom grip might do it, but our jr. rifles have a wooden stock so the grip is not a separate part. Anyway, I'm not necessarily asking for suggestions. Rather, I wonder if someone has figured this out already. Thanks!

Why not go the other direction and create "The Famed Booger Hook."

Cheap...easy.

Rover is an Idiot.

I am missing the first joint of my trigger finger.
With air pistol I built up the rear of the grip forcing my hand
Around the grip, this way I can shoot with my 2nd joint.
I fashioned a palm side plate to keep my hand in place.

With rifle I just force my finger into the trigger.
This is not the way to good scores, but is the best I can do.

I wish Andrew Berryhill would jump in.......
You might have a conversation about 3d printing what you need

Thanks for all of your ideas (well, most of them). I'm aware of Andrew's work, but the young shooter in question is still using a club rifle. Up to now the only modification we have implemented is a 3-D adjustable trigger shoe designed for field target (made in the UK). And, of course, a shooting stand. He can shoot a 60-shot match with only one hit in the white, so I think he's doing pretty good. A custom grip will be a consideration if and when he gets his own rifle. This boy has great focus and follow-through like I've never seen in someone not yet 8 years old. It's been great watching him improve!

Don Plante has a similar problem, so he shoots with his middle finger.

We have nicknamed him "Stinkfinger."
