I won't be using the weaver combat stance in the game nor permit it.
Isosceles should be permissible as it's a very natural stance, however.

I might be a bit gun shy (pun intended) when it comes to directing
questions at the people who do the real McCoy when it comes to cowboy
shooting, mounted shooting etc. I will however browse through the website
you've mentioned. :) Yee Haw!
They thrive on people asking questions. In no time at all, they'll
have you signed up, decked out, and on the line shooting at Black
Bart and the other outlaws. :-) They looked at me funny when I
asked if I could use a C-96 Mauser...it was in action before the turn

place and fires off a lot of rounds in place, or is in a building where
people are shooting over the bar-top or behind the upturned poker table and
stuff like that.
Yup.
