I'm trying to do a search and cannot find it. So I apologize if I'm beating a dead deer/turkey/pheasant/duck/bear/etc. Please help a rifle newbie out.
Anyways, while standing how do you correctly hold and fire a rife?
I've shot an M1 Garand and the dude told me to stick my right elbow out (parallel to the ground), and then I've seen SWAT/LEO videos of guys holding their MP5 with their elbows tucked in close to their chest. The former is the position of what I've been shooting and is pretty comfortable for me. But I'm interested in other ways of holding, but want to know how seasoned rifle men/women hold theirs.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
