Tripod shooting standing - Leg Position (poll)

[pineoak]

What position do you have your tripod legs in when shooting from a standing position?

And why?

One forward, two rear, symmetrical, front leg a bit shorter so recoil drives into the rear legs.

One leg forward here, I’ll have to try keeping the front a little lower sounds like a great idea

Front leg slightly shorter, makes sense, I like that. Going to have to try that next time

It doesn’t matter what the rest for the rifle is, tripod, tree, car, fence post, contrived PRS stuff, whatever. Very slightly support foot forward works for me; because I copied the best shooters I could find in videos. So far, so good. Like boxing or judo, if you want to learn, watch their feet. Loop sling on your upper forearm changes the stance, but only us old fogies do that anymore.

I always like to run one leg back so I can easily adjust height if need be, not so important in standing position but I still tend to do it that way out of habit.

Picture the perfect (for you) standing unsupported shooting position, and add a tripod between the rifle and the ground
