acolyte you are talking about the modified weaver (chapman) and still the dominant arm is locked and straight out under the line of sight 'pushing' and the non-dominant arm is slightly bent still 'pulling' to add tension. this is combo muscular/skeletal in the control of it's recoil.
i don't recommend the isosceles unless it's the modern isosceles but i only recommend that for people who are very experienced and still only in rare situations. learn this one just for education purposes, it's tricky for self-defense and IMO useless except for eye dominance issues.
