They are long enough to use kneeling too over tall prairie grass.

Sitting against a tree Bush or post and good practiced technique yields very solid field positions for me. All rifle shooting uses the same base skill tools to shoot well.
I’ve done the same with the castrator bands. When a tent goes to shiit save the poles and with the stretchy cord you can make them multi length.

Thanks

First thing is to try like hell to get prone, even if you have to move.

If standing, somehow get a trigger side elbow rest or you'll have to get a tripod attachment that can carry the hold the weight of the entire rifle then you can get in there....

If sitting, you can use sticks or a tall pod of some sort and then use your pack or a tree/bush for trigger side elbow support.

Lots of ways to get good field shooting positions which is THE most underpracticed issue in big game hunting.

I just got back from a hunt where the angle shooting up was so steep, I had to slide on my belly/pack about 20 yards downhill to a little nose to be able to get the muzzle pointed high enough. This was after piling almost all of my gear on top of my pack for rifle support. Being in moments like this in the field and not wasting time is critical....

Shoot some PRS matches.

You'll learn volumes about improvising and perfecting field postions.
