His technique is sound using the post like that. Strongside elbow ain't flopping in the wind like normal 'kneeling'..... True, but his NPA and knee direction could be better (to put it mildly), IME.

I could do it 40 years ago with a M-16A1. I aint as limber as I once was but, with the aide of the post, the kneeling at 200 shouldn't be a problem. Should be but that kneeling technique on the video with the left knee down is "unorthodox." I'd call it the "kneeling when you've got a post to lean on" technique. Good thing they put the video out and you can practice like that. It’s called “reverse kneeling” and it’s not unorthodox, ya big dummy It’s what a shooter does when kneeling and a support can be used. You might want to shoot some fun local matches and improve your “skills” and knowledge

Um, ok PRS rifle dude, who carries an 11lb rifle in the field? Genghis Khan? Gunga Din? "...he could dot and carry one, 'til the longest day was done..." I do occasionally carry an 11 pound rifle! A PSA AR10 .308 with a 20 round mag. I haul that puppy out to the box blind and set it up on bags and a bipod. "IF" I kill a deer, I leave it in the blind while I go get the truck! 😉!

If you don’t know what reverse kneeling is, any day and any amount

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Well, since I've seen ol' Smoke shoot at the Icebreaker, and kill lots of PD's here on the ranch well past 600 yards, and bang the holy bejeebus outta my steel, the LAST thing I'd have to say about him is 'doesn’t have a clue how to shoot
'
Believe me. He won't have ANY trouble with qualifying at that circus, OR killing elk at any range he wants to.

Again, if reverse kneeling is confusing and “unorthodox”, it blatantly shows the level of shooting experience
If a shooter can’t hit a 6+MOA target at 200 with support like that to qualify, he’s got work to do.

Looked like he laid his gut on top of his thighs then laid on top of his gut? Idk what that kneeling was. Despite being a 6 and 4 MOA target, I’d bet a lot of people would fail it.

I dunno looking at the fish cop and his bang stick……
I expected his demo to be shooting off the hood of a suburban…..using a bag of Cheetos as a rest.
Looked like large boy yoga? With guns.

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. PS, you should go back and see if I had any spelling errors you can whine about. Friggin' clam.

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.
