Modified Weaver for me when target shooting, or hunting and I have the time..........if time isn't an option, anything goes.
 
Other. I use old fashioned tee and a bastid weaver. I learned shooting weak hand on hip and shoulders perpendicular to the target. I'm still most comfortable shooting that way.
I didn't get into the Weaver till I'd shot magnum artillery. I found out that two hands was not just for beginners.
When I'm serious about putting holes in the x ring I shoot Weaver. When I'm just having fun I tend to go old school.
 
Anything goes. Whenever I shoot handguns now, I start holstered and draw on signal from shot timer. Usually I'm not even facing down range when the buzzer sounds. I concentrate on proper draw stroke, creating a stable firing platform with my upper body, acquiring the front sight and engaging the target. My feet just end up however they're comfortable.
 
I shoot weaver I guess, but I'm not sure if I picked up any bad habits doing so, some day's I shoot great, and some day's I stink, at least by my standard's.
 
What "Cranky" said. When at the range, my off foot is forward and my body is turned slightly with my off side forward. I hold the gun with both hands pulled in slightly and my head cocked down to the sights.

On the street, it's anything that gets my sights on target.
 
I shoot Isoceles. It's the most practical stance for me because I'm cross-dominant. I'm right handed but my left eye is my dominant eye and I sight using that eye. With an Isoceles stance I hold the gun at a point that is directly in front of the center of my body. I can thus use my left eye for sighting without having to tip my head over onto my left shoulder. Works for me.
