Course Overview
THE WIND STAGE
Wind takes the shape of whatever it has to pass through.
Level 1 gave you standing, kneeling and prone. Level 2 is about the positions you do not choose: on your back, in a seat, under something, or shooting from your other side.
Unconventional Shooting Positions teaches you to build a workable position from the ground, from a chair and from your support side, and to keep the muzzle safe while you do it.
This is class 06 of 9 on the Rifle Level 2 roadmap. Vehicle work is not part of this class; it is covered separately.
Training Focus
