    The ability to release a shot, while maintaining the ideal fundamentals, from these positions far outweighs the effect of recoil. In fact, it's good fundamentals that mitigate the effect of recoil in the first place, regardless of position.

    Each shooting position in the course of fire is specifically planned to challenge the shooter to build the best position and undertake the shot to highlight that field shooting is very different to "at the range". If you can do this, you will score well!

    In the annual match in January, this has been won by 7mmRemMag 3 times and 6.5mmPRC once (it might be 7mmRemMag 4 times actually). Note that in most years, the winning score has been 100% or one missed shot - other than earlier this year when the wind was 30mph.

    As mentioned by @gimp, understanding wind, familiarity with equipment etc is key. As is having validated data from your rifle.
