Which won't be the case on the actual hunt, no posts out there that I know of. So when you're on the actual hunt, it would be not only unorthodox but useless. And by unorthodox, I meant it wouldn't be the position you'd use given the choice in the field
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.
Exactly and illustrative.
If a hunter or shooter believes the position is useless in the field, he simply is a novice and hasn’t done much shooting.
A shooter has to be able to build a position that’s solid in the field. Prone with a bipod and a rear bag isn’t possible in every situation.
Why use that position to qualify?
Because they want to see if you can shoot proficiently and not have a schitshow of wounded animals produced by idiots who don’t have basic shooting skills.
