In which shooting position is the firearm steadied using a rest?

The kneeling position is characterized by one knee on the ground, which allows for a more stable shooting platform compared to standing or sitting positions. When in the kneeling position, a shooter can rest their firearm against their forward thigh or onto a support such as a tree or wall. This significantly enhances stability and control over the shot, making it easier to maintain accuracy.

In contrast, the standing position lacks support, which can make it more challenging to keep the firearm steady. The sitting position can provide some support but is not typically as stable as the kneeling position when it comes to using bodily support to steady the firearm. The handgun shooting position focuses on techniques specific to handguns, which may not always involve the same types of rests that would apply to rifles or shotguns used in kneeling or sitting stances.
