Even out of staters can have an opinon on how to do it better, but we might not have much influence.

You were questioning the use of the post.

John,
In this case I do believe it’s the individual Area Wildlife Manager (AWM) in the video that is setting the rules. They may be using the same or similar rules used in the past.
Usually when it’s a National Park the NPS has their own people manage the hunt, but it appears this is a remote enough location the feds handed the cull over to the state.

I’ve killed a few animals from some pretty unorthodox positions but that kneeling position is still a cockamamie way to shoot a critter.

Casey,

I think everyone agrees sitting is better than kneeling for being steady.

That said if you have a rest to support the front of the rifle then right elbow to right knee adds support to the back of the rifle.

If you are shooting kneeling without any front support then left elbow to left knee it the best way. But without a sling and the time to get slung up it's only a bit better than offhand.

Any way some time when you're bored see what you think of that reversed kneeling with a front rest, I recomend some sticks.

Might be a tool for the tool box.

Quit being nice and helpful.

Lol

For years I've used a single trekking pole. It helps for balance when walking but with a little practice, it can be an improvised shooting stick in many ways. The most solid I've found is in conjunction with a bush. Hold your hand on the pole at the right height and grab a twig on the bush with the same hand. Pull away from the bush. Lay the gun over your wrist. The pole gives you a solid elevation, the twig gives you solid windage.
