This is her with the sights set for 1000 yards you have absolutly no cheek weld.
Bugger photos upside down. I just cant figure out the auto rotate shit.

The old timer long range dudes shot from the Creedmore position lying on their back with the rear sight positioned on the butt and the barrel resting on their feet/boots
the Handgun Metallic Silhouette shooters use the Creedmore position if not careful they shred their trouser legs with the muzzle blast I have seen this happen a couple of times
loose trouser legs were know to catch fire from the muzzle blast if not tucked in to socks or boots,
