Kneeling unsupported firing position

This position is assumed quickly, places the soldier high enough to see over small brush, and provides a stable firing position. The nonfiring elbow should be pushed forward of the knee so the upper arm is resting on a flat portion of the knee to provide stability. The trailing foot should be placed in a comfortable position.
