    I'm starting to delve into longer range shooting, and I've been reading up on proper prone shooting, but before developing bad habits, I figured Id ask the pros what they reccomend.

    Any help would be great
     
    The fact that I didn't know there was a difference should tell you how new I am.

    To answer your question tho, a position I could use at the range and hunting with a bipod. I will not be competing.
     
    I'm in the same boat here. My son (13yrs old) just got into the Jr Small bore at our local range. In prone, they have him laying at an angle with his right leg bent. I have always tried to stay straight back, shoulders perpendicular to the rifle. Is there a difference with small bore and centerfire? They are simulating Olympic Style smallbore shooting. Shouldn't all prone be the same?
