Try to move your feet smoothly while in the weaver stance.

Depending on the circumstances, I use either.
But usually I use a modified Weaver.

Shot weaver for years because that's how I learned in the mid 80's. Even had my finger on the front of the trigger guard too.
Dropped the trigger guard finger about 10 years ago. Recently switched to icosceles after studying the mechanics of it and dedicating myself to it for a month of only shooting that way. Makes much more sense and my splits became faster. |

I don't think there are lot of people still advocating weaver anymore. I know old fart ops who still shoot weaver because they never had any meow modern training. Does it matter, probably not

I grew up with Weaver. I was initially trained with Weaver. I know Isosceles is superior for a myriad of reasons, but I just can't get into it. When I do try it, once I start shooting fast or moving, I always instinctively go back to the Weaver.

I've always naturally shot weaver. I'm trying to switch to isosceles. I think it's better especially for tactical stuff/moving around.

Isoscoweaver. Weaver feels natural to me but I keep trying to get myself to shoot isosceles so, I usually wind up half assing it with my foot back a bit but my shoulders square.

I was indoctrinated (trained) on the Modified Weaver back in 1988 and although apparently no police training academies teach it anymore, I prefer it and will not switch. Just works great for me.

Pretty obvious which guys in this thread actually shoot on the move, have taken tactical shooting courses, or shoot competitively for accuracy and time.
To all you Weaver stance shooters...please, please, please consider switching over to the isosceles stance. Especially if you use a handgun for self defense. Virtually no one teaches the Weaver stance anymore...for very good reasons. |

I really don't shoot "pure" Weaver unless I'm shooting bulls-eye, I shoot mostly modified Weaver because it's the most accurate way for me when I'm on the move.
I do use Isosceles when I feel the occasion calls for it but I don't shoot as accurately with the Isosceles stance. |

I shoot isos for handgun, and also practice it for rifle and shotgun too due to military training in body armor. But have also used weaver for all 3 due to that is used at Front Sight with their reasoning being you can use one stance for all types of firearms. They do have a point, especially for those that aren't able to put in thousands of rounds for practice.
Any thoughts on which to use for long guns? |
