What is your ideal AR standing shooting stance?
I'm presuming that you're talking a known-distance, static range-type situation.
Where exactly do you place the stock-in the pocket formed by the collar bone and shoulder? When we taught rifle fundamentals in the Marine Corps, it was to place the bottom of the buttstock so that you do not have to lower your head to attain cheek-weld.
Is the full stock in contact with your body: See above.
Body alignment: angled or 180 to target. Due to the specific offhand position we taught, we were pretty much perpendicular.
Feet: trigger hand side foot 6 inches back, or 3 inches etc.
Foot width: aligned with your body or slightly extended outwards
Knees are bent..but how do you measure forward body learn. For all of these, we always went with as close to a natural stance as possible; not exaggerating any part.
Elbows in: tight contact to body or more relaxed. In most cases, relaxed is always better.
Feel free to change the questions if you have better ones with different views or approaches.
TIA
