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,

Cool.

Despite the old theories around the Weaver variants, what really matters is the grip on the gun. That is what controls both sight alignment and recoil control. About 70% of effectiveness of the position is grip. The further away you get from the grip (eg legs) the less important it is. A bit of forward lean is important, but the state of your knees is basically a red herring. Unless you are shooting 10M match, where it all matters. But if your grip is poor, you will not succeed.
