I will first admit that I am a bit ignorant so I have this question.
I have seen many photos lately of "professional" shooters holding their rifles. The firing hand is in the expected position, but, I see the non firing hand held way out on the barrel guard with the are nearly straight. Why??? This does not seem to be stable in a nonsupported firing position. My limited experience in the military tells me to keep both elbows in close to use the body as support. Can someone please give me a coherent explanation?
