The "Weaver stance" is a shooting position commonly used in firearms training and competitive shooting. It involves standing with the feet shoulder-width apart, with one foot slightly forward. The shooter holds the firearm with both hands, using a grip that allows for stability and control. This stance helps to absorb recoil and improve accuracy. In the Weaver stance, the body is angled slightly to the side, which helps to create a more stable platform for shooting. The non-dominant arm is extended forward, while the dominant arm is bent at the elbow, providing support. This technique is named after Jack Weaver, who popularized it in the 1950s.
