hip issue

[yana]

I was always tought, when you turn in yr upperbody, squeeze yr buttmuscles so yr hips dont rotate abd stay in line with the target.
However, as soon as I'm in position and loosen my buttmuscles again, my hip imediately rotates after all.
Anyone else has this??

Rotation of the hips/spine in offhand is very bad for your lower back. The weight of the rifle and the position may cause your hips to strain and this strain causes nerve pain. The pain cause muscle tension, then nerve pain, in a downward cycle. It is one of the most prevalent lower back problems. You can look up this issue on youtube and other sources. A common problem to avoid.

I believe the goal here is, not to tighten any muscles:

Rather than turn your hips, "slide" the upper portion of your body to the rear while maintaining level shoulders. This will bring the rifle mass more over the center of your stance without turning and stressing the low back. Check with a local dance class instructor if you cannot envision this (I stole it from one of my young shooters who was a dancer).

Tighning of butt while turning in is obligatory. It prevents the hips from rotating.
As the hips should be in line with target.
I thínk my hypermobility causes the problem
I always stand upright, never backwards, because of my hypermobility.
Standing too extreme causes my back bones to shift out of line.
Yes, with rotated hips, the back is overloaded, causing backpain.
