[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1985271, member: 2736"] The way I was taught, was to get into a comfortable position with your eyes closed and without moving, open your eyes and see where you are aiming. If you are not on target, move in the right direction until your position is naturally pointing you dead on center. During the rapid fire events this greatly improved my scores buy allowing my position to correct the effects of recoil and I didn't have to horse the rifle in position to hit the center for each shot, just make minor adjustments in the hold. Its like wing shooting a shot gun or making a running shot with a rifle. Shoulder the weapon with your eyes closed, and if your not looking straight down the barrel or through the scope, the weapon Doesn't fit you properly and you will never shoot as well as you can with a proper fitting weapon or a proper position for you. If you have a belly (Like most of us) the folded knee normally works best. (Most comfortable, and doesn't apply pressure to your chest and heart causing an enhanced heart beat. The best position is what ever works best for you ! 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
