Sitting Position
A seated firing position with the elbows braced forward of the knees, offering more stability than kneeling or standing without any artificial rest.
The sitting position lowers your center of gravity and creates a wide, triangulated base, which is why it ranks among the steadiest of the unsupported positional-shooting options. The shooter sits with legs crossed or open and rolls the elbows forward so the flats of the upper arms rest against the shins or just past the kneecaps, locking bone against bone rather than relying on muscle to hold the rifle.
Compared with the kneeling position, sitting gives you noticeably more stability but with a slower setup and a lower line of sight over obstacles. As with any unsupported hold, the position only works when you settle it onto a true natural-point-of-aim, letting the body fall naturally toward the target so the reticle returns to center after recoil instead of being muscled back.
