After trying some recoil experiments on my own at the range and then finding Brian Enos site, I've decided to change from my typical weaver stance over to the isosceles stance.
A few questions. I read that the supporting hand should be much firmer than the gripping strong hand. What is the theory behind this? Since I've been a bullseye shooter for many years, this hardly makes sense. I understand the concept of relax hand/easier trigger pull, but the strong hand is the base for the recoil, not the support hand. Should the palm of the support hand come in from overwrapping the fingers and touch the grip? Found this helped in preventing rolling in the recoil.
Should the elbows be dropped in with both arms evenly extended, or "naturally" turned out for more push.
Since the weaver uses the push/pull theory, I find it hard to figure out what the support hand is pushing against. Pushing out with the support hand seems to lessen my grip. The strong arm is pushing out against the gun and recoil, but what is pushing the support arm working against?
