I personally like the goofy stance that you see Han Solo using. It's designed to use your arm as a believer and your other arm is a counterbalance for firing high-powered hand guns. It's also specifically designed for target shooting in.
I actually use the modified weaver stance, but I am one of those people that have the problem with being right handed, but left eye dominant. So I train with both eyes open most of the time
I'm right handed, left eye dominant. I've found that I just need to adjust the positioning of my head, turning it to the right and rest my cheek on my bicep. I can shoot quite accurately from this position, but you need to be able to switch eyes too. Especially if you shoot a long gun.
I think I might be a little cross-eyed myself with a handgun, but evidently I shoot pretty damn straight with one hand. I guess I do better with rifles, since I have my whole body to absorb the brunt of the recoil, whereas my hands and arms only provide so much resistance.
@@cameron8679 fun fact, you can train both eyes to be equal in terms of dominance! Source: Ex military and shoots at marksman distances for fun in my civilian life. Just like with everything shooting it’s all about practice and muscle memory. Because the eye is a muscle as well.
@@dylfai ur underestimating how overfunded the vast majority of police are. cops dont need APCs. there are more than a few small towns where the police budget takes up a significant portion of the towns total budget. look up Uvalde's total police budget compared to how useful they are are
They've been trying to push it for decades and it's not sticking. It's not wise to aim primarily with one eye and have your body try to center everything away from that eye.
I do a modified kind of weaver. Dominate arm extended, non-dominate support canted. Body 45 degrees turned. Dominate arm's shoulder back and locked. Heavy support on back leg. Shooting targets and shooting close quarters aren't the same. Whatever works for you.
As a dominant right hand and a dominant left eye haver I would like to say… that my genes should be cleansed because of how useless I am on a shooting range
This may be something you have heard before but maybe try buying a red dot, turning the brightness up a bit more than you typically would set it and try aiming with both eyes open. Your eyes will be able to superimpose the very visible red dot on whatever you're aiming at.
I hated the weaver stance. It also makes you a bigger target. Texas trains their corrections staff in Weaver, and will fail shooters who use semi-Weaver, which is a far better stance. Pretty sure that's Chapman's version.
@@TheBaddestManLuc tbh their content used to be interesting and fun, but now they talk about stupid things. Mainly because their target audience is made up of people who only care about history from WW2 to now, they really only talk about US History now.

@@EGRJ Just barely lol. The weaver stance is BARELY history, the video is obviously made for kids who play Roblox shooter games and think they are an expert in firearms. I highly doubt the weaver stance helped majorly in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Seen a video online of a skinny lady firing a large gun. Cant remember if its a desert eagle or a 357. Whatever its a large gun n when she fires the kick sends the gun right into the bridge of her nose. She held onto it to her credit. People see hollywood n think its easy firing a gun but dont realize the force that pushes back with a shot
Increased upper body strength to absorb recoil? In a moderately powerful pistol cartridge such as 10mm or 357 magnum, much less something mikd like 9mm(x19/x17) or 38 special?
I shoot one handed with dominant hand. Recoil recovery is slow, but the irons on my pistol is off and I find my acuracy is a lot better with one handed. No idea why.
How about one-handed stances? As strange as this may seem, I do better shooting a handgun in one hand, than I do with both hands. Guess y'all really know I'm a cowboy then, eh? 😂😂🤠🔫
One of the strengths of modified weaver is that you are supposed to gentle push with your shooting arm and pull with your support arm to create tension that dampens recoil a bit and allows you to naturally fall back on target.
There are many different stance's ,who knows how things will go in a situation requiring your weapon, so shoot however is comfortable for you, most importantly is to be able to shoot the gun accurately with one hand. The support hand is only a bonus in my opinion. Thats why they don't call them "handsguns"🤣
my first time shooting was with a revolver which name i don’t know and i don’t even know what stance i had but i don’t think anyone would ever have a pistol go that back to ur face
Its not natural, originally handguns were made to be fired one handed with your body turned perpendicular to the direction of the gun. This gave shooters a smaller profile for the enemy to shoot. People subconsciously adopt the weaver stance because of media.
Many people have eye dominance. It's basically the same as being right or left handed vut for your eyes. It means that you prioritize using whichever is the dominant eye over the other, even if both are open. A good way to test it is to hold your hands out at arms length and make a small diamond hole, and look at someone with both eyes open through it. Whichever eye they see through the hole is your dominant eye. My shooting instructors suggested basing your handedness with a weapon based on your dominant eye rather than your dominant hand, and my own brother is right handed but left eye dominant, so he shot left-handed. It's also why lefthanded shooters are a bit rarer, because even among left handed people, many are still right eye dominant
Not always. I knew dudes in the army that needed to learn to shoot left-handed even though they were right-handed. You shoot with whichever eye is dominant, not with your dominant hand. Additionally, a lot of left eye dominant shooters try to shoot right-handed even with left eye dominance, because hot brass in your face sucks.
Yes that's literally the case. In the 80s the FBI started using 10mm and they basically said both women and small men had a hard time handling itm. That's when they shortened the casing to create 40S&W defeating the whole purpose by making a caliber that's essentially 9mm ballistically

Chapman modified the stance to make the “Chapman Stance”, pretty neat stance!

I'll give that a try

Just like with everything shooting it’s all about practice and muscle memory. Because the eye is a muscle as well.
I like the hood way of sideways or not looking at all aiming & hitting kids and bystanders through houses 😂
Cops practice this aswell.
@@spiderzvow1 Show me one instance of a cop firing his or her service weapon sideways.
@@dylfai I'm sure I could find it. More saying they fire with no concern for bystanders
@@spiderzvow1 I’d say that would be lack of training under intense situations. Defunding the police would worsen the issue.

Slightly modified isosceles is what are the professionals use now
For body armor
@@rogermcbadlad2812 it helps with fatigue and stability as well. Use your hands to clamp down, and focus on using your back muscles, not your arms

We got taught the Weaver and the Isosceles stances in late 90s police academy.
Cross eye dominance is no issue in pistol shooting, it's all about the foot placement at that rate
Isoceles Stance is goated and will remain goated
Today on forgotten weapons...
Lmao these animations are hilarious
modified isosceles is where it's at

When you say hit me in the face do you mean someone trew it at you or...

FIX THAT CROSS EYE DOMINANCE LIKE I DID
Why not just put the torch hand over the gun hand for recoil mitigation
I shoot one handed with dominant hand. Recoil recovery is slow, but the irons on my pistol is off and I find my acuracy is a lot better with one handed. No idea why.

*PAUL HARREL HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*

Not for LEFT EYE DOMINANT Person
I always and still shoot isosceles

waitin for the doom stance
Feet spread wide apart parallel to your target and a Vulcan minigun in each hand
Is there a way to adapt to recoil?
Be strong

Just practice.
All I know is the Weaver stance
I already shoot with the Weaver stance so
Bruh, I have cross dominance, I think I need to watch the full video cause I’m confused on what the answer is, is it don’t be cross dominant?
Lol recoil...
What stance would I use if I am left eye dominant and right hand dominant?

a 20 gauge is smaller then a 12 gauge by a significant amount

How can someone claim a stance with their name when this is instinctively the most common natural stance new shooters take?

Why did he show a woman while talking about needing strenght to do it💀
Even if you have cross dominant vision dint shoot Luke that, learn to shoot with your dominant hand eye.
Or just get a red dot
For gods sake, practice your wrist alignment!
Or just get good and go one hand
Needs upper body strength... shows women.😂
If youre right handed shoot with your right eye if youre left handed shoot with your left eye it aint that hard

Actually you can have a different dominant eye than your dominant hand for example I’m left eye dominant but right hand dominant
I'm right handed but left eye dominant, I shoot left handed, and do most other things right handed
Weaver stance is outdated lol
It's perfectly fine for precision shooting at the range (even if it's disparaged by the "high speed low drag" MilSim LARP crowd.)
