No the point is the shoulder Skin/Muscle/Bone/Whatever is connected to the shooting arm and if you are push/pull it you are SUPPORTING it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wait .. WAIT .. I've been ignoring the forums for a while and Nik mentioned this thread to me last night so I just got here but I am carrying a can of gasoline .. let me just undo the cap and tip it just so .. If I put my fist to the center of my chest, rotate the shooting hand (weak or not) towards the center of my body to bring the gun to my eyes and PUSH my fist against shooting side pectoral, I can feel my chest muscles push against the upper part of my biceps, perhaps stabilizing my shooting arm. Question 1) Am I supporting my arm? Question 2) How the hell can anyone but me tell I'm doing it, differentiate it from a my fist lightly on my chest, call a procedural, or do so evenly? Ok now .. who has matches? I've quit smoking (again) and I don't have a lighter anymore .. No? No one? I think I have a fero rod in my car .. Be right back.

cas Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Okay... just a purely theoretical question (for obvious reasons); Shooting weak hand, can I legally touch my shooting arm as long as I'm not supporting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The things that makes me chuckle the same guys that say it is supporting and thus illegal are teh same ones telling him it is terrible technic and he should change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. I haven't found much merit in the technique, but I feel he should be free to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. How about "my" technique a few posts up? 1) Maybe, see answer two. 2) Nobody but you can likely tell if you are supporting that way. If we can't tell, we can't call it. Don't touch your shooting arm. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhs Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 According to the OP, whom I see no reason to consider a liar, the position in question was used to steady his head. Would anyone consider it illegal to use his non-shooting hand to stabilize his head by propping it between his non-shooting-side shoulder and head? Using the "disabled" hand, but not coming anywhere near his shooting shoulder/arm? If you say it's illegal, what rule would you site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) In one post it's the head. In another post it's his shooting arm. I'll call bs on the head. Edited January 27, 2010 by Steve J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactiger Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Iam the father of the orinal poster This position started many years ago. My son started shooting competivly at the age of ten. he is now 15 It started for support. beign that young holding the gun up with one and having any kind of stability was hard. Fast forward to today.He is changing his position but some times he goes to the posted position. The reason for the post was probably my lazyness. if it was legal why change it now. He is verry fast in getting into that position. many years and many dry fires. Here you go. He doesn't say support the arm, but he does mention stability, having trouble holding the gun up, etc. Nothing about holding up his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So... if I use my weak hand to grab my hair to hold up my head.. that would be ok... right? (I know you bald guys are jealous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know you bald guys are jealous) Yeah, but it would be better (and funnier) if you got Mark to do it for you. Hell, he'd probably lift you off the ground.
