[QUOTE="Keyser328, post: 1362102, member: 10111"] Here are a couple of basic layout photos I yoinked from Google Images: Weaver: [url]http://www.azccw.com/weaverstance.gif[/url] Weaver is the stance that was primarily taught for years to LEOs (I'm going with off the cuff knowledge, input/correction welcome). Weaver is typically identified by the fact that you blade your body to the target. Iso: [url]http://www.azccw.com/isostance6.gif[/url] Isosceles is named for the fact that you form an isosceles triangle between your shoulders and your weapon. That whole triangle (your upper body) rotates at the hips to move from target to target. Iso is generally considered a faster and stronger platform, since you're using your whole body to control recoil, not just your arms. Modern Iso is a twist off of the basic Iso in that you stagger your strong side foot back a bit, and some folks put a slight cant on their shoulders. This gives a more natural, aggressive, and reactive stance to fire from. Again, any trainers or pros that want to weigh in, please do! This is just my understanding as an average dude who tends to pay too much attention. And personally, I usually use a Mod Iso stance. [/QUOTE]
