Congrats to CDT Cameron Bates. Not only did he earn his President’s Hundred tab, he was in the top twenty and made the shoot off.

A good prone position is a make-or-break position - for one thing 300 of 500 points are prone. Also, they say you win at offhand and lose at 600. I can't argue with that either. And, as you say, prone ought to be the most stable, all bone & sling, no muscle, relaxed position ... if you build a good one. How do you know if it's good? When you fire a shot, your rifle will naturally, effortlessly settle back almost where it was before the shot broke.
