I had a competition shooter tell me that the best way to improve good shooting is to not wrap you thumb over the top of the stock.

Your right Steve and not touching the forearm with the other hand is even better.

I've noticed Hicock45 keeps his thumb on the side of the rifle. Good eye Steve.

Never wrapped my thumb over the stock, shooting off of bags on a table I didn't touch the forearm either. Fresh eyes would have helped.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
