What Is The Best Handgun Shooting Stance For You? Part 2

ISOSCELES & MODERN ISOSCELES STANCES:

     Brian Enos and Rob Leatham used this technique in International Practical Shooting Confederation competitions in the 1980's. It became popular after they started to win.

ISOSCELES STANCE:

Hand & Arms:
   
     The dominant hand holds the pistol and the support hand wraps around the dominant. Both arms are held straight out, locking your elbows. If viewed from above your arms and torso would look like an Isosceles Triangle, hence the name of the stance.

Leg Work:

     Both feet facing forward and shoulder width apart.

Upper Body:

      Leaning slightly forward.


MODERN ISOSCELES STANCE: (More Aggressive)

Hand & Arms:
   
      The dominant hand holds the pistol and the support hand wraps around the dominant. Both arms are held straight out, locking your elbows.

Leg Work:

     Feet shoulder width apart, support-side foot slightly forward, with both knees bent.

Upper Body:

      Leaning forward with shoulders over hips.

 

 

       The bottom line is to use whatever stance that is the most comfortable for you.  If you are not comfortable in your stance shooting would be less enjoyable.  Any discomfort WILL effect your ACCURACY!!!
