Do you shoot mostly standing or sitting?

Do you shoot your M&P AR 15-22 mostly standing, or sitting with a bipod, sticks, or platform?

 

[Kayback]

Standing. Moving and shooting. Bench time is very limited, but will be getting more shortly, daughter is starting to shoot.

The benifits of a light easy to carry gun

 

[Jyezahn]

Standing, sometimes leaning over-barricade.

Both sitting & standing

 

[BP_Z28]

Stand...always

sometimes I will put a foot on the barricade for my "rest" position

I bought my 15-22 for one reason. Competing in action steel and tactical matches. Both of which require a lot of movement, some call it run and gun. Target rich environment scenarios that will include standing, prone and kneeling across a 100 yard playing field. Did I mention a lot of running?
So, to answer your question. Yes,both.
Sort of.

I prefer to sit. Prone works too.

 

[Locked-N-Loaded]

Standing... I can hardly sit still so I find shooting from the bench a tad boring. Prone is of more interest & value to me than sitting.

 

[everReady Rob]

Always standing or moving, since my interest is self defense. Hope to get into sitting in 2013 and do some target.

Whatever is called for at the time I am shooting.

I like shooting from foxholes. But, I'm too lazy to dig them now-a-days.

 

[t0kie]

Sitting most of the time

 

[sps282]

Except in competition most folks tend to shoot from the position at which they are the most competent/accurate....we should work on all positions to improve our skils.

 

[TheBigC1234]

Sitting to sight in, once that is done standing for improving accuracy speed etc. Although as SPS282 stated sitting is fun when you fire 25 rds into one little group!

 

[Sid Nitzerglobin]

When I go to the outdoor range it's mostly sitting w/ a bit of standing. Indoor range it's mostly standing w/ a bit of kneeling.

That's what SHE said!

Half and half

rod cl. Thanks for your question. U tube vids is probably the best source for course design. You could do a search for? PHA tactical matches, thats the club I attend, well one of them anyways.
Or just tactical rifle matches, USPSA matches. You will find hundreds of vids that will give you some ideas. Hope this helps.

 

[Gopher Slayer]

Sitting in the driver's seat.

It's not what you think.

I use to shoot 90% standing. But now due to serious back issues, I use a powerchair now to get around, except for around my small house sometimes I walk. I can stand and walk a little bit. But it is painful, so now I shoot from my powerchair.

I shoot standing, sitting, and prone. And use the bench as a cover item (not with a bench mount)

 

[photoracer]

Whatever is needed for the shooting sports I am involved it. Since I shoot 3-gun, USPSA and IDPA pistol, and other type matches my firearms are required to do whatever it takes. And that includes shooting from what ever position my body is required to get in. My 15-22s act as either practice firearms for 3-gun or as action arms in dedicated rimfire matches. I don't shoot them off any of my bipods much but they are equipped to do that if needed.

Do you use any kind of a rest attached to the arm of the chair?

 

[dntmi]

Usually with half my body out the passenger window at around 35mph.

 

[shootinbil]

I like to run and gun

Almost exclusively standing.

 

[BP_Z28]

Next time I go to the range.. Going to bring a damn chair haha..maybe a small table if I can cram it in my little car. I like to use my bipod and not have to squat all the way down as if I am about to drop a deuce.

 

[TacoDaTugBoat]

I mostly kneel behind a spool. some standing, but I have to work on stabilizing while shooting standing. It is way more obvious how much I move while standing still now that I have a scope.

No I don't. The arms on my chair are short to be able to get close to tables. It would not work. But good idea though. Would work on some chairs.
