New guy, don't shoot!

[ThorX]

Hi everybody,

I used to shoot, sometimes I even managed hit the target. Right now I"m more into things related to shooting rather than shooting itself, figured out it might be good place to ask questions and get some answers. If you can help I'd be grateful.

I'm interested in learning more about physiological fatigue caused by prolonged staying in prone position. What are your experiences in this regard?

I assume lying down in shooting position causes arm, back and neck fatigue. If that's the case, to what extent and how tiresome is it?

Thanks in advance for your input.

You could do your own research.
Lay prone in your yard holding a broom stick or 2x4 to simulate a rifle.
Take copious notes and include photos. Please share your results.
Also, welcome.

Do you do "pew-pew" with that?

For those who suggest doing "dry run", how do you compare 2 hours in the garden and 2000 hours in the wild? I'm not asking for photos or notes, merely your thoughts. I've found information on eye fatigue, but not much on short & long term effects of staying for hours in prone position.

Do you do "pew-pew" with that?

Yes, or "butter, butter jam"

Yes, or "butter, butter jam"

The proper terminology is bu,bu,bu, budget cut
