Much more comfortable. We shoot like that on one of our drills, 5 standing, 5 kneeling and 5 prone on a USPSA silhouette at 200 yards, shot for score and time. Won’t hurt a thing. My old prone slow fire position was low enough I could have used a 20 for a rest... it was illegal so I had to get higher. Neck was never an issue but I'm 15 years older by now.. lol I spend most of my time getting into position. Thankfully the timer is off when I’m trying to get back on my feet...

One is like an engineer. Sharpening his pencil, laying everything out just so. It all has to be perfect, or it's chit. The other is the redneck guy. The stuff he does is cheap, quick and dirty. But, it gets the job done. Why one can't see the utility and significance of the other, I'll never understand. Understand that using the mag can affect POI. At the same time, it can take out more wobble error than POI error it creates. If your wobble looks like you can't stay on a target, But then you can, rested on the mag? You probably will shoot better. Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

The bs about not resting an AR or AK mag as a monopod has been around for 50 years. Soldiers have been doing it successfully for the same time period. mike r Don't wish it were easier Wish you were better Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.
