Handgun shooting

[Jburke]

Was wondering what the proper way to shoot is.  Should you keep your elbow bent slightly or should you keep it locked while shooting?  Never really had given it much thought before.

Bent.

There are many shooting styles, most round down to basics that are very simular.

Todd Jarret has some good ones on Youtube as well.  He's a pretty small guy, and just watch the recoil, (or lack of) when he shoots.  We used to videotape each other at IPSC and steel matches, and it's amazing what a difference a proper grip and stance will make.
