I was wondering whether which is the correct style to shoot a rifle.
I've seen people stand almost perpendicular and lean forward towards the target. However, sometimes you see AR/AK operators that square up with the target and shoot. Which is correct or does it depends on the platform one is using? I.e. bolt-action/lever-action vs semi-auto? And what about using a shotgun?
