omg francis is left handed XDDD

Francis and Zoey.

[rossmum]

Francis is about to totally fuck his elbow and Bill isn't doing much better. Stocks go into shoulders. Nowhere else.

A friend of mine used to think you put the butt of a rifle against your chin ("well how else do you aim down the sights"). Ohhh man, going shooting with him would've been hilarious.

I know there isn't really "one correct way" of holding a gun, but Zoey doesn't look like she's shooting. Guns have recoil, you know.

If I were the one to pose Francis, I'd more pose him like this:

Here, allow me to demonstrate:



See? Like that.

You can fire 'from the hip' (stock tucked under your arm), but it's generally only used when you haven't got time to aim properly or when you're not entirely trusting of the weapon you're about to fire (if you're worried about headspacing or something).

It's exactly the same for any stocked weapon, including bullpups:



The Steyr example is probably the better one, since I'm a lot more comfortable with it (use it for work) than the SLR (only handle it every now and then at the museum I volunteer at).

Lean forwards into the weapon, elbows tucked down as far as comfortable to lock the butt into your shoulder, holding it tight enough but not strangling it. There are other ways of doing it, but that's the universally accepted method and almost certainly the first thing people learn when they learn to shoot.

I don't like all the yellow.
