Looks like a whole bunch of "YAHOO"!! (grin)
T,I have been told that guys shoioting cross draw holsters have to face with the muzzle in line with the firing line so they do not
"break 90"
Is this true?

Hi Cat,
The rule is 170 degrees, there are those that do the "dance" and then folks like me that pull it straight up & then rotate it to the front as we engage the target. Also when I go to the line I slide the holster over closer to my center line and more upright. I do the same thing with the right holster, it carries the gun butt forward for a "Cavalry twist" draw, pull the pistol straight up and then rotate to the upright as I bring it up to the target.
I need to get my grandson to take a short video of my draws. It is much simpler than it sounds and I am no fast draw artist, just accommodating my arthritis basically, found the movement that is the most comfortable and still safe.

Actually it is a straw not palm leaf, I do have a palm leaf "Trail Boss" also. Too damn hot AND humid for a beaver or wool hat most of the time here. I usually destroy two straws a year working out in the sun.
