What is the most stable shooting position?

  1. Standing

  2. Kneeling

  3. Prone

  4. Sitting

The correct answer is: Prone

The most stable shooting position is prone, meaning laying flat on the ground. This is because in this position, the shooter has the most contact with the ground, providing a stable base for their body and weapon. Standing, kneeling, and sitting all have less points of contact with the ground, making them less stable options. Additionally, standing and kneeling positions require the shooter to support the weight of the weapon with their arms, leading to more fatigue and less accuracy over time. While sitting does allow for some stability with the shooter's support arm resting on the ground, it still has fewer points of contact compared to being prone.
