Pistol choice

[ptdunk]

Try “modern isosceles”. Basically Weaver (or “modified Weaver” - Cooper used to insist on locked straight legs, which turned out not to be a great idea) from the waist down, isosceles from the waist up. Slight forward lean for recoil control - not needed on air pistols.

That's interesting....never heard of that before.
Turns out I use an upright version of the modified isosceles: almost square on but not quite, supporting arm only slightly more bent than the shooting arm, and even leaning back slighty.

I used to use a full weaver stance but found it more stable to stand slightly squarer to the target, taking a queue from 10metre where we're taught not to 'muscle' the pistol onto the target. I suppose it's all about stability and balance through the shot cycle rather than managing recoil.

Must be a modified modified isosceles!


nice one,

Matt.
