What shooting stance requires that the support side foot is positioned forward?

The shooting stance that requires placing the support side foot forward is the Weaver stance. This stance is characterized by a side-on position in relation to the target, where the shooter angles their upper body slightly, often resulting in the support side foot (the foot opposite the shooting hand) being positioned ahead of the shooting side foot. This configuration helps a shooter achieve better leverage and stability while allowing for an effective platform to manage recoil and maintain control of the firearm during shooting.

In contrast to the Weaver stance, the Isosceles stance typically places both feet parallel and equally spaced to create a square or symmetric orientation towards the target. The Modified Weaver still follows the traditional characteristics but may incorporate some adjustments; however, it does not explicitly require the support foot to advance. The Dynamic stance is often related to movement and may vary significantly based on the situation, focusing less on foot positioning in a static sense.
