Old is New: Fighting From The Standing Position

Posted May 12, 2014 in AR-15 by Steve Johnson with 37 Comments

Kyle Defoor at TriggerTimeTV argues that the popular Square/Bladed stance (toes in a line facing the target) for offhand shooting is not the best position. He argues that it offers minimal extra protection and if you have to stand and shoot, its better to shoot accurately and move, than shoot poorly in an uncomfortable position.

What do you think?

Thanks to J for the tip.
