What is considered the steadiest shooting position?

Standing
Kneeling
Sitting
Prone

The correct answer is: Prone

The steadiest shooting position is prone because it allows the shooter to use the ground for support, providing maximum stability. When lying flat on the ground, the body has the lowest center of gravity and a wider base of support, which significantly reduces movement and improves accuracy. This position also typically allows for better control of recoil and a more stable aim compared to other positions. In contrast, standing, kneeling, and sitting positions offer less stability. Standing can be the least steady due to the full weight of the body being supported only by the legs, which can easily wobble or shift. Kneeling provides some support from the legs but still does not offer the level of stability found in the prone position. Sitting does offer more stability than standing or kneeling but is not as steady as prone, where the shooter's body is nearly parallel to the ground, minimizing the effects of body movement and environmental factors.
