Jack Weaver

A friend passed on the following

I received word late yesterday afternoon that Jack Weaver has passed away. I have no other details.

As you all know, Jeff Cooper described Jack as the man who "taught us all to shoot" when he beat all comers at the Leatherslap two years in a row.

Jack's shooting technique, using isometric tension in two hands to stabilize the pistol, would become forever famous as the Weaver Stance when Cooper included it as a cornerstone in the Modern Technique of The Pistol.

We lament Jack's passing, as the Giants are leaving us at a fearsome rate, and very few remain.
