Remove your shoe/boot lace,wrap around the grip a few times and put the excess between your teeth.

Give some tension and you have a rock solid rest. </div></div>

I guess I don't see how this is more steady than a proper handgun shooting stance.

I really don't see how a nasty bootlace in my mouth is more steady than going prone.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

WTF?

if you are taking the time to rmove a lace from the shoe to do this, chances are you already brought enough crap to the range with you.

if you need a good rest when the heat is on, i doubt there will be enough time or wanting to untie a lace, remove it from a shoe and do this. even an already "lace in waiting" tucked in the pocket will take too much time, movement, and effort than just say using the bottom of the grip on the ground? making a Y with your feet and using like a pair of shooting sticks? using knees together and placing pistol resting in the V?

like above, don't see how this is applicable in any shape or manner.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Ok if old members cant attack new members then I think it would be fair to say that new members should probably refrain from saying things that provoke attacks.

Yes my comment was smart assed maybe it was uncalled for maybe it wasnt, but your walking a thin line. Either your full of shit or your information is coming from someone who is.

BTW welcome to "the hide"

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

You ought to stfu,go outside and try it with and without at 100 yds.

Even my wife has enough brains not to squat down in a bull nettle patch just to hit a deer at 65 yards with a Glock.

Are you fucking serious?

Now I got to ask...what is this notable Sniper's name?

I have a sneaking suspicion either he is full of shit or you are.

I don't even have to know where this came from to know it's a bad idea. You can simply look at the mechanics of firing a handgun and know what you are suggesting is not only time consuming, but gains you NOTHING.

I can show you several handgun shooting positions that are more stable than sticking a bootlace in your mouth.

Then again.....I wasn't in Vietnam so I must not know shit.

Finally, YOU still have not explained how this "technique" is more stable than a standard isosceles or weaver stance.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Dennis,

You're about to get a vacation from this site after only a couple days as a member here. You have no idea of the history and knowledge here with guys like LonewolfUSMC, he's not making it up as he goes along and I'm pretty certain he's shot past 100 yards a time or two.

Take a break from the name calling and aggression or you'll be given a break from SH.com.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Or you could just learn to shoot a pistol and leave your shoes on.

Hitting at 100 is a lot more about knowing your holds than chewing on your shoelaces.

As to your claim that this circus act is the most stable of handgun shooting positions....your lesson for the day should be that putting your head in your ass is hard on your back!

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Good lord.

Captain Moroni may have just replaced Shankster in my mind.

On another note, I just figured a more stable way go prone with out a bipod using only some slightly soiled underwear, a swiss army knife, and a roll of duct tape. Its a game changer! The only bad part is you will experience chafing if using this technique for an extended period.
 
#25
Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Sounds good.

I am not the type or person just to put up with someone calling me "or much worse a person I respect" a liar.

I give respect to those who are deserving.

Otherwise I sling it back likekind.

If some think a lace will not help without trying it and call some full of BS....that is a closed mind or a know it all mentality.

Out

Not sure how to take that but just for the record my wife is 6' tall thin and smoking hot, well above my pay grade.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

This is a stupid thread, don't know why I'm responding, guess I'm stupid.

Anyway, How did Vietnam come in on the subject of using your shoestring to steady your pistol shooting.

Got to admit I never tried it (now I wear cowboy boots so it don't matter)

But I was an infantryman in Vietnam. I have used a 1911 a time or two over there, if my memory serves me correctly, most times there was so much mud on my boots I couldn't have found my boot strings, let alone get them off in time to make a difference.

Ya, I just cant grasp the concept of using a shoelace wrapped around a pistol grip doing anything other than making the pistol grip fatter.

BTW...to others
I could care less about people insulting me,I have thick skin.
O.K. Denny...... here`s an unorthodox pistol stance....that works..... no shoelace involved.
put your ass to the target...bend over...with elbows on knees...holding gun upside down.... with both hands....align sites... fire....with gun between you knees....
sounds stupid... but I`ll guaruntee more accuracy....

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Yeah, I'd like a picture on the proper use of it too. Not to bash you or be mean at all, but I don't see how it would lend an advantage or where I might use it. At the range I have bags, rests and other stuff if I need it. In the field I can use a branch or whatever if necessary. In a fight in public I don't have time, and in combat/training that pistol only came out because the rifle quit working. And what soldier is gonna remove a bootlace during a firefight? I actually had mine knotted at the bottom so they wouldn't come out. Can you imagine doing this and needing to pull back and losing your boot while providing cover fire with an M9 and a bootlace in your mouth? I guess I just don't get it.

And I don't HAVE to go out and try it. I can get a pretty good idea of it in my head without it, what it would feel like etc. I've shot pistols to 200m fairly accurately from the Harris stance and I've put five of seven .357's in an army silhouette at 300m (my best ever with a handgun) and did that one single handed if memory serves me well.

As for boot laces in the mouth, wouldn't it work as well or better if you had it around your neck or shoulder? I walked through some nasty shit in my combat boots and there is no way I'm putting that lace in my mouth, and this is nearly ten years later.

Sure this wasn't an old survival technique? Like if you lost use of one arm? I could see how it may help one aim and also reload if under stress, on the run, and one handed. Especially left handed, you could possibly use it to stabilize the pistol and fire left handed while aiming with the right eye. But again, I think it would be more advantageous to have it tethered around the neck.

Re: Bootlace pistol rest

Not a 100yds, but I'm pretty sure that if you'd brought the targets in the 370yds closer that would have been necessary to make it 100yds he probably still would have hit it. No boot lace, but then I hear John never was particularly good with a rope.

ETA: Plenty of thistles, though.
