One of the key factors in shooting the kneeling position
is to keep your elbow off the knee. Most shooters extend
the elbow ( that hold the gun )over the knee with the flat of the arm above the elbow resting on the center of the knee. If your not flexible enough to fire this way, many shooters kneel on two knees and fire an isosocles position.
( butt on heels-back straight-arms straight ) The key here
is to take as much bend out of the arms without getting
carried away. Also a slight ( slight! ) downward angle of the head helps to overcome recoil flex.
