I am trying to improve my handgun shooting from the kneeling position. As I understand it, this should be more stable than barricade or offhand, and yet my targets from the knee look like shotgun patterns.

I am a right handed shooter. I drop my right knee to the ground and sort of sit on the heel of my right foot. I place my triceps on top of my left knee and extend the pistol forward. And I move all over hell. Oh yeah, I'm not very flexible.

Can anyone recommend a more stable position, or offer tips to improve this one?

Thanks!
