Seriously guys I thank you Bubba for this post. I have over time tried to practice some form of any possible trouble that we might face. I have never thought of needing to shoot sitting down. I have practiced surprised while sitting in the house & draw & get up, move, head for the front or back. Now I need to practice draw & fire w/ a sterring wheel in the way. One more thing I have learned since being here. Thanks Guys.

flint...you must have punched submit before I did because you were not in print when I started. Now I know one more thing I did not. My upper body authritis is what makes ISOS so tough for me. The same thing that maxamizes LEO's body armor also maxamizes my COM. As stiff & slow as I have become in the last 2 yr is why I do a lot of practice going to one knee. My right one is not good but OK. Left has to stay at 90% or less. We will look for Weaver tomorrow. Can't weight to get up in the morn.

shootingstar, Thank you for the comment. Yes I do come from survival perspective. The pictures are really great. One day maybe I can learn that computer stuff. As far as the stance being faster. Be advised I get all the initials mixed up sometimes & sure don't know the rules of each that are different from the other. What different equip is legal in which initals, but Speed from what I have seen is not so much from the stance as it is from the rigs used to draw from. Against you guys & a time clock I don't stand a chance. There is no one that I know of faster & more accurate than R. Latham. He uses the Iso. I have prepared several ladies for the CHL class & two of them did much better in I. & one of them could not keep both eyes open. Before qualifying the instructor was showing the class the "best way" Mod W. & she said, That is what you were saying. Yes. Her: Do I have too? It doesn't feel right. I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYE!!! Do what is comfortable. You are doing great. She shot 235 & has some REAL strength issues w/ hands. Which is the fastest? Bottom line is what feels good (within reason) will be faster & more accurate. What you train with will feel good or you will change. I do enjoy watching yall shoot. Who is the fastest is measureable w/ a stopwatch. Which stance is the fastest is going to be circle that will roll for a while. This is good for all of us. I just wish flintknapper would get home from work like he said. Good shooting friend, you are a star.

Shootingstar, I doubt anyone here will be argumentative. You guys that shoot IPSC are not training for anyone shooting back at you or trying to stab you. I and I think most of the guys who registered as Mod. Weaver spend our time making sure that if we have to draw & fire our weapon that we can hug our wife as soon as it is over with out getting a lot of blood on her dress. I shoot targets out to 35 yds for pinpoint bulls eye accuracy on occasion. The vast, vast, vast, majority of my practice time is spent drawing my every day carry weapon from my every day holster wearing my every day street clothes, shooting, hunting cover, one hand, changing to weak hand, reloading from my every day leather mag carrier, w/ my every day mags...I like flintknapper have to get going. We all need to check back after work because what flintknapper will have to say will be worth learning & applying. Especially young or new shooters. I look to learn a lot this afternoon. (so teach me my friend )
