So why use it to qualify? That was really the question.

It can be used in the field if you're using shooting sticks, tripod, tree, rock, or off a tall pack. It's far from a usless position to practice from. If you're not using any of the above mentioned things in the field, then the more traditional kneeling method is going to be preferred.
