I've been focused on center-fire supported positional shooting the last few years. Have heard and read numerous times about prone supported body position, everything square to the target, no angles, npa. The green army man position, body canted/leg bent is a thing of the past. Last weekend I took a class to become certified as a youth 4h shooting instructor, and the army man position was taught as the proper position for unsupported prone with a 22lr. They explained that without recoil or front support, this is the best position. What are your thoughts, does this position in this scenario provide the best npa?
Also, if others here that are involved in youth shooting instruction, I'd like to hear different ideas.
