Hey all,
I've seen a lot of shooting demonstrations and pictures where the shooter will reach his neck forward like a turtle or someone slouching as he pushes his gun out to the firing positions. I've seen this in both Weaver-esque and Isosceles positions.
Is this a "good" habit to develop?
On one hand I understand that putting center of gravity lower and leaning forward will help with recoil control. On the other hand I've also heard the advice "bring the sights up to eye level, not the other way around" - I find I have to do the latter because I wear glasses and if I tilt my head down the sights are off the corrected field of view.
Was tilting the head forward ever part of an official shooting method of sorts or is it carried over from something like boxing where you would want to tuck your chin in?
What do you think?
