Kneeling Position

Because the shooting arm is free, this position leaves the shooting arm and elbow unsupported and is not as steady as either the prone or sitting positions. But with practice, the shooter can maintain control and shoot accurately.

  Turn so you are approximately at a 45° angle to the target.
  Lower your body so the right knee touches the ground and place your left foot forward to steady you.
  Sit comfortably on the heel or the side of the right foot.
  Place the left elbow near, but not on, the bony part of the left knee, as far under the rifle as you can.

If you are a left-handed shooter, kneel on the left knee with the right foot forward and the right elbow on the bent knee.
