Isosceles

The Isosceles Stance is defined as having

  • your feet shoulder width apart
  • bent slightly at the waste
  • and both arms directly out in front of you

forming a triangle.

Weaver

The Weaver Stance is defined as having:

  • Your strong leg back behind you in a boxing stance,
  • Placing your gun hand directly out in front of you, and
  • Supporting your gun hand with your other hand.
Modified

The Modified Stance, which is what both Ben and I operate with, is defined as a mix of both discplines. In the Modified Stance, you have:

  • Your feet in a fighting stance like the Weaver Stance
  • Your arms out in front of you like the Isosceles Stance
  • Bent slightly at the waist
