Instruction from former Special Operations sniper Ryan Cleckner on optimizing the kneeling position for long-range shooting when using external rests. Cleckner explains how to adjust knee and elbow placement to maximize stability when the rifle's front is already supported, emphasizing practical field application over traditional prone shooting.
For improved stability in the kneeling position when using an external rest for your rifle's front, adjust your stance. Bring your shooting-side knee up and rest your shooting-side elbow on it. This technique provides essential rear support for the rifle, enhancing accuracy in field conditions.
This video provides expert instruction on achieving accuracy with an AK platform at extended ranges, up to 500 yards and beyond. It details how to utilize natural terrain and props for stable shooting positions, including supported kneeling and standing techniques.
