Il y a lieu de distinguer entre «lâcher une pierre», l'une des étapes pour «lancer une pierre», celle où cesse la prise de la main sur la poignée par opposition à l'ensemble de l'élan pour mettre une pierre en mouvement sur le jeu, bien que l'expression anglaise «to release a rock» ait parfois le sens plus général de lancer une pierre(deliver a rock). 3, record 2, French, - l%C3%A2cher%20une%20pierre

Crosse à dessous droit, dans le prolongement de la poignée. C'est le type classique de la crosse à épauler tel qu'il a commencé à se fixer à partir de 1650 et a continué jusqu'à nos jours, sous des versions peu différentes, tant sur les armes de chasse que de guerre. Réputée donner une mise en joue plus rapide que les crosses «genre pistolet», la crosse anglaise reste préférée de nombreux chasseurs. 1, record 3, French, - crosse%20anglaise
