Au Ting was a very good shooter. This is he in an oblique target shooting stance. Try this yourself; Look at his thumb holding the pistol. Now then. Hold something in your shooting hand such as a mobile phone and pretend it is a pistol grip. Now allow your thumb to drop down so it is next to your other fingers. With your other hand, hold your shooting hand and rotate it about. Your wrist bones rotate so you have limited control over a pistol when firing it. Now raise your thumb like Au Ting and press slightly inwards, your wrist bones become locked allowing you more control over your shooting esp; control over recoil and rapid fire. Now stand square to the target ahead and put your spare hand up to the shooting one. All your fingers of your spare hand interlock with the gaps between the other fingers and your spare thumb sticks up by the side of the pistol one. This is called the Weaver Stance named after the USA lawman who perfected this shooting stance and is used world wide in police training. Don't forget to keep you head upright allowing you to see the target without sight distortion. I suppose you call this audience participation. Hope you enjoy these little tips.
