What shooting position is this?

Newbie here. I saw this picture in the proof research bolt action manual pdf.

Look at the guy on the far right. Looks like he's clamping his bipod and boot together. Does anyone know what this position is called?

It’s actually pretty stable for what it is. No idea on the name though (I’m sure they told us but I definitely forgot by now).

That's the famous wedgie heel to toe sitting position. I use it when hunting to shoot over the top of brush when I forget my sticks. It doesn't work very well if your shorts get a strangle hold on a testicle and/or hemorrhoids. Be sure to avoid cactus. Don't ask me how I know.
 
A taller bipod fixes this. I have used this position a few times as well. It usually follows a 4 letter word so maybe that will help you decide what to call it...
 
of course, others might call it something else


And yet another article that shows someone who isn’t Hathcock and labels it as Hathcock.

When I was a kid shooting 50 foot smallbore and service rifle with m14's I had the most unorthodox sitting postion. Legs out in front of me, ankles crossed, right elbow on right knee and left elbow on right ankle. It drove people nuts when they saw me do it. No way I could do it now, too old and too fat. Kind of reminds me of that a little.
