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. When you are in a prone position, your body is closest to the ground, providing the most support for the firearm. This position allows for a lower center of gravity, reducing body movement and sway. Additionally, your body has the largest contact area with the ground in the prone position, further enhancing stability. This is why prone is often considered the most stable shooting position compared to standing, kneeling, or sitting.
