I took my wife to the range to shoot the present I bought her, a 9 mm Springfield XD. I have always been taught the Weaver stance, and it works very well for me.
I am going over the basics with the wife, including a good stance.
Jack Weaver was obviously a guy, and his stance works well for guys. Is there any school of thought on a stance for the ladies? Is it just a modified Weaver stance, or has anyone any info on something specifically for accommodating the different body shapes?
The XD was a great choice (she picked it), she says it feels comfortable, recoil is not excessive, and she doesn't have to worry about a safety. She fired a .22 when she was a young girl, but hasn't really shot that much at all since. She was getting consistent 3 inch grouping at 10 yd - on her first visit. She said it was the gun, I'm sure its my teaching skills
