[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1673045, member: 10291"] Unless shooting benchrest with relatively light recoiling rounds, most shooting will be done with some degree of hold. Once mastered, perhaps other then off a bench, prone should prove to be the most accurate and consistent shooting position. Awkward at first, especially for those of us with older bones, I’d recommend starting from a high bipod and high rear bag position for comfort. Also, keep the shoulders square with the body directly behind the rifle. Use a firm hold but don’t over do it. The body/muscles will condition with practice, and you will find that you will be able to handle lower positions. Don’t give up too soon! [/QUOTE]
