The problem I see is movement, with the Isosceles Stance, your legs are "locked" and your off balance to a point. With the Weaver stance movement is easier and your balanced on your front foot.

What do you guys perfer when shooting the old six shooter?

Your chest is covered??????????????? and what pray tell is standing broad shoulder have to do with shooting?

Next time you're out west let me know. It's quite obvious your instructors are in dire need of instruction......
