Which one of the four standard rifle fire positions is the steadiest?

  1. Kneeling

  2. Standing

  3. Sitting

  4. Prone

The correct answer is: Prone

The prone position is the steadiest of the four standard rifle fire positions because it allows the shooter to have the most contact with the ground and provides the most stability. The kneeling position may be more comfortable for some shooters, but it does not offer as much stability as the prone position. The standing and sitting positions require the shooter to rely on their own balance and muscle strength, which can be more difficult to maintain for extended periods of time.
