Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended high ready position for a pistol?

The recommended high ready position involves keeping the firearm floating between your high chest and chin with relaxed shoulders. The support hand's contact should be minimal, primarily at the bottom of the trigger guard, allowing for fluid movement and dynamic grip establishment during presentation.

How should the grip be established during firearm presentation?

During presentation, the grip should dynamically roll into place. As the firearm moves towards the target, the grip becomes stronger and more established, ensuring it is locked in by the time the sights are on target for effective recoil control.

What are common mistakes to avoid in a ready position?

Avoid overly static or contrived ready positions that lead to stiffness. Holding the gun too high with a tense grip can create an artificial presentation. The classic low ready, while having uses, is often less efficient for presentation and athletic movement than the described high ready.

What is the philosophy behind the described ready position?

The philosophy emphasizes a relaxed, fluid, and athletic approach, inspired by Bruce Lee's concept of 'alive technique.' The goal is to avoid stiffness and complexity, allowing for natural and efficient movement with the firearm.
