Jack from The Survival Podcast goes over basic rifle form in the standing off hand position. This includes foot and head position, target acquisition and overall stance.

  • how about when the target is moving, should you move your head then??

  • - no, on a moving target you move your body not your head. The cheek weld stays constant. Just watch some pro skeet or clay shooters with a shotgun and you will get the idea. Basically on a moving target you are swinging on the target and taking a lead based on the speed of movement.

  • Dude, chicken winging is worse then bringing your head down.

  • - depends on how you mean it. If you are speaking from a tactical point of view on the firing arm you are missing the point. Tactical and sporting forms have different purposes. If you are talking about the chicken wing on the supporting arm I still think head position is worse but both are terrible in their effect on accuracy and control.

  • Hm, but there are military rifles that just don't allow you to use sights and the butt stock properly without bringing your head down a bit. Position of the head depends also on the type of sights / optics you got, doesn't it?

  • Also if you like I can do a update with an AR for an example and a Sub 2000 as well. I probably need to anyway for the people who are overlapping tactical forms with the sporting forms I am showing here.

    The shooting demonstrated here is about knocking squirrels out of trees, putting deer meat in the freezer and busting bunnies not tactical entry into a building or anything like that.
