Is torso movement allowed? It would take less time to switch the target if you turn with your torso as well, instead of just relying on your feet, right? Maybe torso is not the right part. I think I mean turning slightly at the waist...

Your weak shoulder should be forward of your strong shoulder...otherwise it's extremely hard to hold a rifle (your support arm just isn't that much longer  ). Your feet will pretty much mirror what your shoulders are doing. |
That works, but if you have armor on, you are turning it away from the threat. Nothing is written in stone but you should be facing the target as squarely as possible. RS here of course...AS makes no difference,

However, for airsoft...you can cheat like that...just don't do it with heavy recoiling real steel.

I ride my stocks high all the time, and I shoot 7.62. Keeping in mind most plate have cuts to improve traction, and you typically have a few layers of something on for tactical,/protection purposes. Recoil shouldn't be a problem.
There are a few schools of thought. Do allot of research and find outwhat works for you. If you intend to take it into the RS arena however, try and stick with one doctrine and really own it. As long as you are getting rounds on target, in a realistic training environment.
