Now I am able to unload a full magazine in the center mass with my XD 9mm at any distance within the boundries of 25-50 feet (please address to my targets which I have uploaded)

should I continue to work on my daily indoor range shooting accuracy using the same pose and stance, or switch to something different? I do like the way that I shoot (straitforward 2 hand stance) it is accurate.

I'm open to suggestions as long as I can understand the directions on how to stand with arm placement.

Umm.. this is a defensive stance u are using? If so, you may difinately want to try others. You may not be able to use that preferred straight forward 2 hand stance. Basics would be one-knee, leaning, offhand etc.
Perhaps I am off base and misunderstood your post.

I was simply wondering if I should continue using a proven shooting method ,full body upright and facing forward,(directionally speaking) which makes my rounds accurately hit the targets center mass location.

It's how I know how to shoot, and hopefully others shoot in similar positions in IDAP(I want to do that soon ^.^) so I don't look like a fool lol

It really comes down to what's comfortable for you. The Modern Isosceles is the most popular for many today. I come from the Weaver era and it is what works best for me.

Yes!...And there will be a pop quiz later...

The weaver stance seems to be sloppy if your not able to control recoil properly and it seems to distribute force unevenly, though it does leave a bit more room for maneuverability with a bladed stance, especially for a quick 90 degree turn towards the the side of the shooter which the bent elbow rests which is used to control muzzle lift. I believe this method allows 3 pivot points, 2 shoulders and an elbow.

The modern Isosceles shooting stance seems to simply things distributing recoil and force evenly through 2 fully outstreched arms supposedly providing superior control of the firearm and keeping targets on sight. while letting the shooter relax and not have to worry about recoil and force control as much as with the weaver stance.

Despite the weaver stance being outdated and inferior to the modern Isosceles I believe it to have 2 evident advantages with the first one being superior split second 90 degree turning on the side of the body which has the bent elbow and being in a bladed stance you are less likely to be hit in the chest and you arms cover it a bit more for small but significant protection.

Which stance is better is determined by the shooting situation and mindset/motor skills/dexterity of the shooter, although the modern Isometric seems to have major advantages over the weaver and seems to be used more often because of them.

I would definitely have to try both these stances when shooting at the local range!
