[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 1984283, member: 25831"] This is great if you are on a nice manicured range. Great for fundamentals. Very important. I have a hard time getting perfectly aligned behind a rifle, my body just doesn't do it. When formerly trained in multiple circles, they did not teach to get right(90 degrees) behind the rifle, some lifted their leg I see now importance for recoil management (hunting bad guys or PRS). If hunting, it is a little more forgiving, you may struggle a little to see the shot impact, but you will if not using a brake anyway. Rarely on a hunt are you going to be in a comfortable position looking straight on the target. More realistic to be angled up or down hill with a boulder jabbing you in the ribs, gravel on your elbows grinding it to the bone, driving rain in your face or the sun perfectly angled to hit right in the scope...That's if the grass isn't too high to get in the prone. Sorry, had to take a stab at the perfect position. I did a high angle course, that literally made me feel like I was going to fall off the mountain, Was using every bit of myself to stay on top...
