I was watching youtube videos of reviews of various ARs and saw a good number of people holding their AR's in a way that I do not. These folks were shooting right handed. They had their left arm extended, with elbow locked straight, and their left hand at a very forward on the forend handguard. Most people holding like this were shooting ARs with 16 or 18 barrels with forends that covered most of the barrel length. It looked like they must have been trying to hold the rifle as far forward as possible with the left hand.
I hold my left hand closer to the lower receiver, with my elbow at a natural comfortable slight bend but definitely not straight.
Why are they doing this? It is unnatural and uncomfortable for me to hold my rifle with my left hand that far forward.
