j1b Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Definitly don't lock the elbows - either one. Also - make sure knees are bent a bit. Its the number one thing I see in shooters experimenting with stance. In order for the turret to work upstairs the gears gotta be ready downstairs. Without bent knees the platform on top has to change to address different targets. With bent knees everything upstairs stays the same and the knees just work to get the angles needed. Hope this helps - JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 The feet stance depends on how your sites line up. Close your eyes and move them back and forth until your sights line up perfectly automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Heat, Check out Matt Burkett.com and go to Shooting Tips. Under that page you wil find Grip and Stance. That should help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Don't think there is one 'textbook' stance. Everybody is different, and everybody responds differently to different techniques. Experimentation will let you know what works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 When I want to show somebody a decent stance, I use a variation of a technique that Ron Avery has on his videos. He tosses a ball at a person and has them get in front of the ball to catch it in the center of their chest. I do the same...with a weighted medicine ball. I want you to be able to catch the ball in the center of the chest and immediately be able to pass it right back. The weighted ball gives a representation of recoil...passing it back is like returning the gun from recoil. Getting someone to play pass with you can give a good representation of where the shooting stance needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I do the same...with a weighted medicine ball. Remind me not to ask your advice about something, er ah, LIKE GOING PRONE! Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 in IPSC "Stance" (from the waist down) is only a snapshot freeze-frame of something that is constantly changing. Learn the correct form, ingrain it, then just let it happen while your upper triangle "turret" does it's thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
