This was the position that put my score out of the balance I was striving for. In order to overcome this difficulty, I studied every picture I could find of the World's best kneeling shooters; Puckel, USA; Ylonen, Finland; and Itkus, USSR. Since they all used identical positions, I converted to exactly this position. Etc Other position demonstrators: Gary Anderson, Standing. Capt. Tommy Pool,Kneeling. Alan Dapp, Kneeling.
