TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 4 - STANCE

About this video

McPhee uses video analysis to teach proper shooting stance, demonstrating how correct head and body positioning—based on the mechanics of mid-stride walking—improves accuracy and speed while preventing backward movement that degrades shot groups. He reviews a live example with Nick McGarry from Nemo Arms, identifying common stance errors and providing specific corrections for body alignment.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee argues that proper stance requires the head positioned over or in front of the lead foot, mimicking mid-stride walking mechanics, which is fundamental to shooting accuracy and speed
  • McPhee teaches that pushing hips backward degrades center of gravity and causes backward recoil movement; instead, leaning forward with knees over the balls of the feet maintains stability
  • McPhee emphasizes that shoulders should be shrugged up and forward, positioned ahead of hips, with feet spaced about a walking distance apart to keep the body locked and stable during firing
