Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Maine Shooter Rifle Form

So, all the news outlets have all these countless “experts” saying how they know the shooter is super well trained because of how he held his rifle.

Am I missing something? He has his strong-side elbow dropped 90 degrees to the floor like a little untrained schoolgirl.

As I was trained as a small child, and as the Marines reinforced, the elbow should be parallel to the deck, like this:



Does anyone think a skilled rifleman would have the elbow pointed down toward the deck?

Isn’t that just untrained and ghey?

Doesn't mean it won't kill undefended civilians. But I don't think it's evidence of superior training.
