I am not average size being 6'03" 240-250 lbs.
long arms
left eye dominant
right hand
chest 52"
neck 19"
(ok.....I am jacked!)
I cannot physically have my hands touching the deck with the gun in my hand. My body make up will not allow me to get low enough, so I have to raise my arms up to bring the sights to my level and since the hinge (my elbows) does not allow straight up movement.....the sights move closer to my face which opens of the rear notch.
I wear cheater glasses for a clear front sight and in the prone position, my eyes are looking over the glasses and having to turn my head to get my left eye though the lens.
I have tried right eye and my left is a bully.
I actually have to put the gun in my left hand and shoot prone to be more be able to look through my lens but its a fight as I am holding my neck as far back as it will go and its not enough.
I could "stand" higher on my elbows but I lose all stability the prone position has to offer plus the rear sight notch is now huge and near my face.
I read the rules for prone position and it allows for some type of roll over prone. I am a visual kind of person and need to see it.
any LARGE and IN CHARGE PPC shooters deal with the same issue and what is your solution to be more efficient at this position or anyone with visual aid (pics) to help me out.
or if you have some images of prone from a PPC match that you think migh help me out....I would appreciate it.
I shot two 1500s today (rev/auto) and both times I was fighting that position and I now those shots affected my score.
you can email pics to swcqb45 AT sbcglobal DOT net
thanks in advance
here is a perfect example of how I am doing it

here is another example of what I tried (somewhat rollover) but my body dimension does not allow me to do this as my hands are further off the ground than jerrys'
