Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Yes. His feet are positioned in more of the Weaver type stance but his upper torso and shoulders are squared up looking much more like isosceles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Also, if you notice the few photos of Jack Weaver shooting that you can find online, his grip seems to change a bit. I one photo his left index finger wraps around the trigger guard. In others, it doesn’t. Also, not many show his feet placement. Years ago, early 80’s, I took some instruction from a guy that taught shooting using the Weaver Stance as learned by him through shooting with Jack Weaver. A few months later I took a shooting course from another fellow who told me I was doing it wrong and had me shift my feet and straighten my left arm. His method was awkward for me. Anyway, HE learned the Weaver Stance from watching Jack Weaver. Hmmm… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Weaver had a bad leg which affected his stance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might explain some of the photos of him. Thank you. Edited October 11 by Pat Riot, SASS #13748 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 I have two bad legs, and I weave even when trying to stand still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
