    Here are some targets where I shot better than my usual at the Taupo Big Balls:

    Standing
    Attachment 163511

    Kneeling
    Attachment 163512

    Sitting
    Attachment 163513

    Prone
    Attachment 163514

    So, about 30cm standing, 8cm kneeling and 13 cm sitting and prone for me at 100m unsupported using the 7mm08.

    Some people, like @Gillie and @Seventenths are just way better than others. I'm fairly average among those who like target shooting. @10ring outscores me most times but not all. They will be worth listening to on this.
    Could you describe the kneeling position used please. I find sitting better than kneeling but maybe my technique is wrong ?
