In this video our trainees practice shooting from a prone position. Our instructor leads them through three variations of this exercise:

-- Standard prone. Best for quick shots. This is a one-handed shot and it’s difficult to hold this position for an extended time. On belly, with body from waist down having full contact with the ground. Legs slightly spread, toes pointing out sides of feet flat against the ground. Support hand reaches forward to lift while you reach forward for a quick one-handed shot.

-- Roll to side prone. Very good if you have enough time to get into this position. It’s very stable and comfortable for nice, steady two-handed shots. Start in prone position. Roll to right side. Reach gun forward, keeping arm from shoulder to elbow in contact with the ground. Extend left leg out to help balance while to join your support hand to gun to make the two-handed shot. Gun can be upright, canted, or even horizontal to the ground. If possible, use your right eye to aim to get the best angle. For the left side, use the same method. However, do not switch hands. You can keep your gun in your dominant hand.

-- Monopod “golf-grip”. Good for precise or distance shots. Using a fisted support hand as a shelf to elevate the grip and use as a monopod to hold the guns steady and shoot from any of the prone positions.
