Keeping your eyes on the target throughout the movement from a squatting position helps naturally guide your body into the correct shooting posture and alignment, making the transition to a stable shooting platform more efficient and intuitive.

What is the recommended 'load' technique when shooting from a barricade?

The 'load' involves placing the rifle's handguard underneath and in front of the magazine well onto the support (like a barricade), creating a stable 90-degree angle that provides a solid shooting platform.
