[QUOTE="4mesh063, post: 25361, member: 941"] Ian, I saw in Varmint Hunter Magazine a few years back a sitting position to use with a Harris Extendable Swivel Bipod that I found to be just as accurate as prone for me. The trouble with it is, Your target had better pose for a while to get in position because it's very difficult to change. It requires a strap of course. I shoot right handed. I'll try to explain. Sit with your knees up at right angles or perhaps a little more. Face approx 50-60degrees right of the intended target. Loosen the strap on your gun so there's about a foot of extra. Take your left arm and go from right to left through the strap and under the gun, strap up to your tricep. Now go under your left knee with your left arm and grab the strap from the other side. Remember, you need the long bipod. Rest the buttstock/toe on your right knee, Take the recoil with your right bicep. (use a small cal). This I find to be about as close to bench shooting as there is. Like I said, you're so contorted and tight though, it's impossible to shoot at a moving target. When I say moving, I mean 1 step every 30 seconds. Getting compfortable on target takes real practice.
