[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1448572, member: 2736"] What I found shooting prone was to pick a comfortable position without looking at the target. once you have what feels to be the best position, look down/through the site without moving and see where you are. and make the necessary adjustments so that when you close your eyes and then open them you are on target. I tried shooting with my body directly in line with the target and it was not natural for me so I moved my feet around until I was lined up with the target and the rifle sites. Once I learned where to place my body I could shoot rapid fire events and after each shot the rifle recovered and returned to this position every time. Like many things there is no "ONE" position for everybody, and you must find out what is best for you. That's why I Recommend that everyone find the most natural position to shoot from and practice in that position and with any aid like a rear bag if they intend to hunt with one. I personally don't use a rear bag when hunting because unless you have the time to set up every time it does you no good. So practice with all the equipment the way you intend to hunt. If you have a good position, every time you close your eyes for a minute and relax, Then open your eyes, you are still on target. Just a recommendation from an 'OLD' prone shooter.
