I will say though too that standing really gives you a great feel on how to really stabilize your rifle. I found out pretty quickly that I prefer a good handstop to really get a good front grip with my fingers to keep my rifles tight to my shoulder while standing rather than a VFG or AFG. Too many times we hang stuff off those free float rails that "look cool" but don't necessarily function the best.
I get the looks also .. I still enjoy shooting the 4 rifle positions
(Standing, kneeling, sitting and prone) .. Though not as stable now (hand shake and Bi-focal glasses) as I was 50 some years ago when I learned to shoot .. its good to know I can still hit steel out past 100 yards off hand if ever the SHTF ..

Something I think everyone should learn to do proficiently !!
