Yes... I think they are trying to get away from the gun. My wife was like that at first.

I notice in some videos from Youtube that the person shooting the pistol use the "teacup" grip where the support hand is placed under the magazine. teacup grip

Better, is when you tell them to lean forward, they just move their hips forward, not lean.
You have to tell them to lean forward FROM the waist. |

I never understood it either. I mostly have our oldest cured of it, but she still flinches and anticipates the shot. The younger one is a very skinny kid, and small for her age. I notice it's more to do with her trying to incorrectly find her balance and hold the muzzle up straight.
Of course, neither of them listen to Dad when he tries to tell them they are making it harder than it needs to be. Nooooooo, why would they do that? Dad's sooooooo dorky and not cool and all. I need to remember to take pictures of how dorky they look doing that. Feet planted as close together as possible and pointed downrange. Rifle held impossible somehow out front. Leaning wayyyy back looking like they will fall over at the slightest breeze...which they have done. Which is why Dorky uncool Dad stands close enough to catch them and the rifle... |

When i first started shooting as a kid i found myself leaning back slowly while trying to stabilize the weapon and focus on the sights and target. It was purely a training issue, my dad gave me no tips whatsoever. But later on after reading gun magazines and books i got some good knowledge of the different proper stances. And as i got older i got better and got proper training. I've finally gotten rid of all those bad habits i had when i was a kid. Now when i teach a girl or anybody who has never shot a gun before, i go over the basics of proper stances and techniques before even going to the shooting range. It is all about giving them proper training so they don't develop bad habits.

Its a normal stance to balance the gun. Most people have to be taught to lean into it. That is not natural and puts stress on the body. We train for what does not come naturally.

Not sure. Last weekend took my inlaws to the range, a couple of them for the first time. Demonstrated over and over how to grip the pistol ( .22lr ) and how to stand to shoot. After the first shot, shifting their grip around, moving their feet, and starting the back lean.
We were shooting close, maybe 10 yards. At first at least all shots were on paper, as they leaned back and shifted their grip around, shots were going off the paper. |

I can't see the videos at work, but leaning back is the correct position. You guys have evidently never been trained correctly. More instances of the basement dwellers having no clue and making assumptions.

That style of shooting is only good for marksmanship competition. It is totally incorrect for real world scenarios. |

Quoted:
Lack of upper body strength True, but by design. Women are biologically different than men, and many more aspects than the obvious. Their center of gravity is lower. This is so they can carry a baby and still function during pregnancy and after. Men's center of gravity is much higher, as we were designed to perform a different function. Fighting, working, more upper body strength means a higher center. Modern times may mix the roles, but it doesn't change the biology. Not yet anyway. |

The same reason girls "throw like girls".
Part is physiology,they're just built differently with less upper body strength and a lower CM, but they're also less likely to have learned whatever currently passes as proper technique.Give a gun to a slightly built male adult or child with the same unfamiliarity with holding a gun and they'll do much the same. |

 Okay that was pretty good.
Lower center of balance and it's instinctive for us to lean back when holding something heavy away from our bodies. It's stupid and often we don't even realize we're doing it until we've thrown our back out or lost our balance.
Training, practice, patience. It goes away. |

Train like you fight,fight like you train Like that will help my score(s). Some of you guys sit at home mastarbating to the fantasy of civil war and don't compete in any matches, while the rest of us enjoy competing. I perfer to compete and use what works, your chances of the later are less than the lottery in your state. But continue on in your fantasy. I perfer to fantasize about skinny, big breasted womenz.
