I went to SFARTAETC in '92 so I don't know what was taught in '81. I don't really remember anything that similar to this then though. It appears to me that using some of the stances and shooting positions, you would lose the stability of the position. If your arms are bent and the sight close to your eyes, the bone support seems like it would be gone and you would be muscling the gun, fighting the recoil. Then again there is the problem with the short sight radius. I haven't been to the range recently to try some of the positions, due to a recent injury, but I intend to go soon.
