It's bad form to lean backwards while shooting...

In the Gun Babe thread, there is NO critique of form, or function, just ogling.

knight will be along to infract the offenders!

There's your difference, we were, at least I was, talking about new shooters, I wonder how many of the women pros started out leaning back until they learned the proper way and became comfortable with it. Granted it's not every new woman shotgun shooter I've seen, but there is a lot more that do lean back, than don't.

Right... so isn't is our job to point out the error and help educate them on proper stance? I've never had any new shooter, or someone open to learning, get upset when the topic of form is discussed.

Ah, yea, did I say I didn't? I think you've read something into my comment that wasn't there.

Simply said, I agreed with a previous comment that new women shooters tend to lean back when starting out, as opposed to a seasoned pro, pretty much all I said.

Do I offer proper stance instruction with any new shooter, absolutely, as well as why leaning back isn't recommended, but that's not what my original comment was about.

Anyway have a good day, unless you made other plans.
