Some interesting comments there, thanks for the input
Donald, I'll give your advice a try and see what happens
I guess a few wayward flyers will be happening until familiarity is achieved

The girl obviously has a funny elbow.
My Mrs has a similarly funny finger, though why she's never been tested for being a witch is anybody's guess.
The pistol shooter girl also looks to be exerting downward thumb pressure. That's a technical 'No No', but maybe she has a funny thumb as well.
HTH
She doesnt do anything different from the others; she stretches her arm until it wont go any further, but she is hypermobile and her joints can go further than normal.
My posture probably looks similar.
Elbows arent an issue in pistol shooting. You stretch yr arm out naturally.
Problem point is locking the wrist

While working away at sea many years ago I had a chance to shoot air pistol with an engineer who was a Chinese Olympian. He shot with his elbow bent, really bent way off locked. Now all these years later and both my elbows full of arthritis I can no longer lock my elbow so shoot pistol both air and B/P with my elbow very bent like the Chinese guy and now realise how comfortable this is, even with my problems, and that even when I was fit how much of a strain it was locking the elbow out as I was taught.
Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.
When shooting internationally I see that alot of junior's use the hyper extended elbow position. I looked at using this shortly but found it very uncomfortable. I wonder how long this could be maintained through an extended shooting career??
