What is a "prone" shooting position?

  • Standing

  • Kneeling

  • Lying down

  • Sitting

Answer

In the "prone" shooting position, the shooter lies flat on their belly, with their non-dominant hand supporting the rifle's forearm and their dominant hand gripping the pistol grip. This position provides the most stability and accuracy, as the shooter's body weight helps to steady the rifle. It is often used for long-range shooting and target practice.
