I first came across the term in an Elmer Keith book, and from his description I took it to mean this variation on a sitting position. I used it quite a bit in the field and it became perhaps my favorite "all around" position. It occurred to me this morning that I had always assumed that this is what Elmer meant but didn't really know for sure, and when I searched for "jack knife shooting position" (side note: searching for "jack knife position" gets you pictures of colorectal surgery) essentially nothing came up.
So, is anyone else familiar with the term? Is the above pictured position an example of it, or something else?
