    I have girly hands/wrists. I find now that I've gone a few years without shooting regular, when for work I shoot a bunch of from the hip or aimed but one handed. I get a kinda sharp pain in my wrist that goes away momentarily, feels like I basically pulled something. Then after long >100 round days, find a couple of the bones in my hand kinda tender.

    I'll never be a dude with massive bear paws from doing whatever. But was wondering is all I need to do is get those little scrunch hand excersizers to whip me into a little more shape? What should I do for my wrists?

    I don't know how much (if any) working out you do, but I also have small girly wrists, and have found that nothing strengthens hand/wrist strength better than actually gripping weight and holding it. I find it humorous watching guys quite a bit bigger and more muscular than me, using similar weight for things such as bent over dumbbell rows, dumbbell shrugs, and deadlift, but they are using wrist raps, and I'm using nothing. Grip strength is probably more important than many of the muscles we train, so why cheat yourself. Slightly off topic, but I figured I'd give another small wrist point of view.
