1. Stance
A.Feet
As a result of a very small floor area covered, rifle shooting requires a properly balanced body and weapon positioning. It is important to find the right body position such that the rifle would point naturally to the target. Therefore, the feet should ba parallel to each other and perpendicular to the receiver string . the distance between them approximately corresponds to which of the shoulders.
B.Trunk Position
The shooter leans her body backwards to the right, assuming a right handed shooter, in order to balance the weight of the weapon. As the body is leaned back slightly, the hip is thrust forward a little serving as a support for the elbow. The amount by which the hip is moved forward and the body moved backward would depend on the build of the shooter. An athletic person with wide shoulders and narrow hips would move further back than a person with very slim shoulders and equally slim hips whose diff. bone structure makes an upright posture in this position much easier.
the left elbow is placed on the hip bone. this means that the weight of the gun is supported by the bone structure of the left leg and does not need to be supported with muscular effort. the total weight of the weapon is supported by the left leg. in the stance, at leasat 60% of the body weight is on the left while the remaining 40% is on the right side.
C. Arms, shoulders and hands
The right shoulder is not raised consciously and it should not be replaced as not to produce a reaction when the shot is fired. the right hand holds the gunstock securely from one shot to the next. the grip should be firm but not too tense.
the success of the entire position depends pricipally upon the position of the left arm. only twhen the weapon's weight is directly supported by the bone structure without any muscles or tendons being flexed , will the required stability be attained in this position. the muscles of the arm must not be used to hold or support the weapon. there is no point in trying to lift or carry the rifle because this would just cause your shots to be either too low or too high. lifting also tires the arm more easily.
the are diff. styles of holding the rifle. one of the easiest is the first position where the gun would rest at the back of the fingers. the nails should not be digging into the palm for this would cause tension in the left arm. the gun can also be rested on the section of the palm just below the index and middle finger while the gun is placed under the trigger guard to balance it. the index and middle finger will support the rifle from the side.
D.Head
the head should be as comfortable as possible. it is advisable that a downward motion be applied when positioning the head on the cheek piece. too much pressure to the right would cause the rifle to jerk leftward whent he shot is released.
