Back To The Basics: Grip


Pictured above is an example of a good grip when utilizing the Isosceles Stance.

1.  With the firing hand make a "U" shape and place it around the pistol grip of the weapon.

2.  The weapon is aligned with the firing arm so recoil is transferred right down the arm to the shoulder.

3.  The non firing hand is placed in front of the firing hand on the non-firing side of the grip and wraps around over the firing hand.

4.  Wrist and hand are kept straight so that recoil comes straight down the arm to the shoulders.

With both hands on the weapon this gives a very stable weapons platform and plays into the natural way our bodies move and operate.


The basics of The grip with the isosceles stance grip can be used with the weaver stance, 

In addition while grasping the weapon you will grasp your hands and pull away from them causing an Isometric response.  Personally I find this uncomfortable and not very stable.  I find that I have tendency to start shaking while doing this.

In conclusion as an experienced shooter again for comfort and stability I would recommend the isosceles stance and Grip.
