| www.christiangunowner.com/handgun_shooting_stance.html The Handgun Shooting Stance The handgun shooting stance is another factor that is debated endlessly among experienced shooters. Im just going to show you two ways to stand when shooting at stationary targets. You can decide which one works best for you and make modifications as needed. Remember, almost nothing in all of this is cut in stone and cannot be micro-adjusted. You will inevitably make some adjustments based on your body type, height, weight, strength, physical condition, etc. And keep in mind that in a real life self defense encounter, you will not likely have time to think about all these factors, take your stance and prepare to shoot. This is just where you learn to shoot the gun effectively and hit a target. handgun shooting stance is the strongest with the strong leg to the side and rear of the weak leg. This is not to be confused with turning from the side toward the target. You will actually face the target, turn slightly toward your strong side, and put your strong leg out to the side and to the rear. Handgun shooting stance picture This provides a strong, balanced stance when shooting. It also allows lateral and diagonal movement if necessary, and does not present a full size profile from the target to the shooter (important if somebody is shooting back). The strong arm is straight and stiff with the support arm and your chosen grip in place. The gun is brought up in a straight line into your line of vision until the sights are lined up and on the target. The second shooting stance is one used by competitive shooters. It is a squared-off stance with feet slightly wider than shoulder width, knees slightly bent, with the shooters body squarely facing the target. The gun is brought straight up into the line of sight until the sights are lined up and on the target. Target acquisition is rapid with this stance, though it is not as strong a stance as the first. So both have their advantages according to what kind of shooting you are doing, and what you are shooting. shooting stance In my experience, women who are new handgun owners and shooters have a tendency to lean away from the handgun and consequently from the target when learning to shoot. I have no idea why that is, but in watching time after time, this is their tendency until they consciously correct it. Leaning away from the gun is never the correct way to shoot from a solid stance. To correct this, consciously lean slightly forward when shooting and be aware of your upper body position until it is automatic. These handgun shooting stance pointers will get you started with a platform that you can adjust as needed for your shooting. |
| www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24818417 SEOUL, South Korea - Hundreds of South Korean protesters clashed with riot police early Monday during an illegal rally against a beef import agreement with the United States. Riot police at the protest in downtown Seoul beat several protesters who were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. A policeman "shoved me and slammed his shield into my right side, and the pain is killing me," Cho Ik-bi, a 36-year-old businessman, told The Associated Press as he was taken to an ambulance. A police officer at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency declined to comment on the police violence. He requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media. Police detained 32 others for questioning, the officer said. Early Sunday, police detained 37 other protesters at a separate rally urging the government to scrap a recent deal to resume imports of US beef. Thousands of South Koreans have taken part in candlelight vigils against US beef imports in recent weeks. The protesters have cited lingering mad cow disease concerns. Questions of safety President Lee Myung-bak last week sought to reassure the country on the safety of US beef, but failed to ease public anger, fanned in part by media reports questioning the safety of the meat. The protest movement is among the biggest domestic challenges faced by Lee in his first months in office. Some 700 protesters marched through the capital until the early hours of the morning. Some of them called for Lee's resignation, saying he was sacrificing public safety for his political gains. The South Korean government was preparing to make an official announcement on the resumption of American beef imports this week. South Korea suspended US beef imports after the first American case of mad cow disease appeared in December 2003 in a Canadian-born cow in Washington state. Restricted imports of US beef reached South Korean supermarkets last year, but further shipments were canceled in October after banned parts, such as bones, were found. An agreement reached last month sought to scrap nearly all the quarantine restrictions imposed by the previous government to guard against mad cow disease. Scientists believe mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, spreads when farmers feed cattle with recycled meat and bones from infected animals. In humans, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and fatal malady, is linked to eating meat products contaminated with the cattle disease. |
