I believe its called: the supine position...yet you'll have to spread your legs wide, and angle the feet outwards too avoid shooting off your own body parts. Magpull has a DVD section on it --- using a AR rifle with a single point sling --- though they recommend shooting the rifle with the arms extended; and not shouldering the piece --- almost the same as shooting a pistol.

I personally would use it for close range shots only...since a longer range shot, on level ground, will have the muzzle pointed to near too your legs or feet.

The Creedmoor position also comes to mind.
