Step 1
Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Place the foot on the same side as your gun arm slightly behind the other foot. Lean into the direction you are shooting with more weight on the front leg than the back leg.
-
Step 2
Extend your gun arm fully. In the modified Weaver shooting stance, the elbow of your gun arm is not slightly bent--as it is in the Weaver stance. Support your gun hand with the other hand, elbow bent and pointed toward the floor.
-
Step 3
Keep both elbows facing downward, not flared out to the sides. The bent elbow of your support arm should be close to your body. Lean your head toward your gun arm to sight the pistol.
-
Step 4
Turn your upper body and hips toward your target slightly more than you would in the traditional Weaver stance, which requires you to have your body at a 45-degree angle to your target.
-
Step 5
Employ the same push-pull technique in the modified Weaver stance as you would in the traditional Weaver, pushing forward with your gun arm while pulling back with your support arm.
