The snipers I just trained under taught us to be far more in a straight line with the rifle than this video shows. Personally I think Daryl would have preferred to have him far more in line and less canted than he was. That was more than a 5 degree cant. A proper prone position is consistently accurate because recoil is managed better and it is far easier to stay on target between shots.
Great stuff, cleared up some questions. Just getting into this thing with my old deer rifle, and that 30/06 is kicking harder than ever haha. Trying to find that sweet spot, And I think the problem was I was too angled, forcing it to recoil against my shoulder socket. Was...disturbing feeling the socket go "pop/pop". Now I need a bipod I guess.
To be honest, all the prone videos I've watched (and that's a lot!), this is one of the best! Many many thanks..
