I love this teaching and this is hands down the best training video on KZfaq and look at the arms that is curve instead of holding the rifle with your arm is extended out like a lots of rifle owners do which ive always learned this kind of training on this video shows then any other KZfaq videos out there. 👍👍👍 outstanding teaching skills this guy has.

Nice production. One thing though in standing position first shoulder gun without looking at target at all, just let gun point wherever it wants to point. Then adjust aim to target, moving the whole body to gain muscular relaxation, which better assures steadiness. If you shoulder the rifle while looking at the target you will steer to it which makes adjustment of natural point of aim impossible because it would move sight picture off the target.

I was taught not to wrap my thumb around the stock. Instead, your thumb is only used to activate/deactivate the safety. Otherwise, the thumb stays relaxed and pointed forward as you press the trigger to rear. Otherwise, great video.

Very good video and valuable info. I am confused however, in Prone I understood that the most stable position was to be in a direct line behind the sight line. When I first started shooting I was taught the 45 degree method. This was back in the 1960's. Since that time I have been told this straight line setup is much better. My research suggests this is the method develop and used in sniper school. My question is what is the best for the average target/hunter to employ? Thank you, Mike

@texasparksandwildlife 3 жыл бұрын

The best PRONE POSITION for the average target shooter/hunter is any ‘body angle’ between 0 degrees (no angle) to 45 degrees (from the gun axis) that is COMFORTABLE to the shooter/hunter. (referred to as ‘natural point of aim’ in the video) Through practice, the comfort level will be the least stressful to the body while shooting. SAFETY PRECAUTION: While hunting in the field and shooting from a prone position, it is extremely important to ensure the barrel/muzzle does not rest on the ground (such as behind a dirt mound, lump, rock, anthill, etc.) SAFETY PRECAUTION: Position should be such that proper eye relief (i.e. roughly two inches between eye and scope) is maintained - so a body position (e.g. prone) that ‘pushes’ the eyeball towards the rear aperture of the scope should be avoided.

Excellent video. In the standing position do we transfer the body weight on the front leg or balanced on both

@TacticalTerry 3 жыл бұрын

In my experience, you want to lean forward into the rifle a little bit, so a little more weight will be on your front leg than the one behind you. The leaning forward helps you to remain balanced against the recoil forces. Sometimes if you stand straight up with even weight distribution to both feet, the recoil from the firearm can send you backwards (sometimes landing on your back or buttocks). Wishing you luck in your learning journey! -L

Snipers use the prone position because if they don't and they're using a 50bmg sniper rifle only there arm will have the impact/requoil but if the are in the prone position there whole body can obsorbe the requoil

It's also by far the lowest profile and easiest to camouflage. You're also there for many many hours and don't want to have to be on your feet the entire time. There's many reasons they use it
