What is the most stable shooting position?

  1. Standing

  2. Kneeling

  3. Prone

  4. Sitting

The correct answer is: Prone

The most stable shooting position is prone due to the increased support and stability provided by being closer to the ground. Standing and sitting positions have a higher center of gravity and are less stable. Kneeling can be more stable than standing, but it still puts more pressure on the shooter's legs and is not as grounded as the prone position. Therefore, the prone position is the most stable choice for shooting.
