Learn how to shoot guns.com presents the basics of shooting, the basic stance. In our last video, we covered actually pulling the weapon and gripping the weapon from the holster. Once you get that part down, let me go back a little bit. That's one of the past facets of actually pulling the gun out, presenting a shoot. One of the other facets is actually how you're going to place your body, your feet, and your arms, much you pull the gun out. I've come up to run my weapon. I've got it to my side, I've got it in front of me. I've decided which direction I'm pointing it. I'm going to present it forward. I've got a good base for the shooting. The reason being is, I want to be stable, because I don't know what I'm standing on. I could be standing on any ground, I could be standing on gravel, I could be standing on a wet sidewalk, I don't want to fall down. Also, I'm going to be able to take the recoil that gun from my body. Depending on the gun, especially higher calibers, maybe we haven't had a pretty good recoil. If you're not prepared to accept the recoil, it's for yourself off balance. It's hard to fall up with an accurate shot. And you make yourself vulnerable also to possibly be knocked down every gun. You've got to take it away from the shoot. It's very similar to the foundation of a house. You need a solid foundation to be able to do anything. My personal preference. There are many variations on this. I think this is something you'll do with a little practice. Everybody does a little bit different. But basically, once your feet give or take, show them with the power. Some people prefer a little bit forward. I'm left handed, some people put their right foot forward. Some people put their left foot forward. I'm almost like a boxer stance. I personally prefer just about even. Goes right down my hips and down my side to the ground. Makes me very stable. I can bend my knees. If I've got to run, I can turn twist quickly. If I've got to go backwards, I can go backwards. If I've got to go forward, I can go forward. Very easy position to move forward. Also helps me take the recoil of the gun because I'm well balanced. The gun's out here. I personally need a little bit forward. The reason I need a little bit forward is once again for that recoil. I don't know. Now I see lean forward. I'm lean forward this much. I'm not way out here. I'm certainly not leaning back. I'm basically leaning so that if somebody gave me a little bit of a shove, or I could say a little bit of recoil, just give me just a little bit of push. I can take it. Even if I had to step back, I'm right there. It's not a problem. Recoil the gun. Boom. Okay, not a problem. I'm on something slippery. Okay, not a problem. I'm leaning forward. My body is ready to take that blow or recoil. I extend my arms. I'll move from the side. I extend my arms. I extend my arms up to almost full length. Two variations of this. Some people full full length. The reason being is these bones lock in, the joint locks in, the shoulder. Use that little extra for the recoil. Your whole upper body recoil is almost like an assembly. It basically takes, puts the shock all through your body. It helps take the push. You've got 200 pounds leaning into this instead of just your tiny little wrist muscles. I personally bend my elbows just a little bit less on the counterfeit. Fine, I'm a very heavy caliber gun. For me, this seems to take the recoil a little bit better. When I say for me a little bit, I'm talking, there's full presentation. There's a little bit. There's still a little bit of slack out of that. And then for me, that works well. Once again, that'll be based on you, your frame, your preferences. This is just a variation. Something prefer like that, something like this. Some of you, you know, maybe lean back and forth a little bit. I just give you the basics to start from. With your practice, you'll decide which method works best for you. And once you've done this a few hundred times, something's going to feel very natural to you. Your body, your body will get used to the position. Your body will automatically take that position. And that'll be the one that you feel most comfortable in and in that most comfort to shoot the best. Very good.
