Howdy Doc. In the past if the stage started with the revolver I would start standing more like your first photo. If the stage started with the rifle or you moved to a second shooting position I think I faced the targets more squared up. You've probably noticed more about how I do it then I am aware of myself. Obviously the gunfighter shooters are using the squared up stance shooting their revolvers one handed. I'm going to try shooting double duelist and unless I really have trouble hitting the targets with my left hand, figure that I'll stick with that a while. Who knows, maybe some gunfighter. See ya, Smokin Gator
