How to Get Into Reverse Kneel Position for Shooting

Shooting from supported positions fundamentally changes how you use your body to stabilize your rifle. Dave Luu, founder of the Mid-Atlantic Rimfire Series, knows this very well from his experience in Precision Rimfire Shooting competitions with .22 rifles. These competitions require shooters to shoot from kneeling positions that offer physical objects to support the rifle while shooting. However, this poses a challenge for traditional kneeling positions.

Standard, unsupported kneeling is a traditional shooting position for marksmanship. The technique requires the shooter to support the weapon with only their body in a kneeling position, normally with one arm braced on top of the raised, non-shooting-side knee. This traditional type of shooting is designed to test the marksmanship capabilities of the shooter.
