2m 26s
In this lecture, John breaks down the complete foundation of proper carbine stance.
This is not a static position. It is the mid-stride of a walk — a mobile, aggressive posture built around balance and forward pressure.
Inside this lesson, you’ll learn:
• Why stance should mirror natural walking mechanics
• Proper heel-to-toe foot placement and walking-distance spacing
• Weight distribution on the lead foot
• Knee, hip, shoulder, and head alignment
• Why forward lean is critical with a carbine
• How structure improves recoil management and mobility
The goal is simple: stay mobile, stay balanced, stay forward.

I use a small sticker for precision work (smaller than the 5" standard) and always try to hit the sticker. Every stance should imply ...
