How to get into the prone pasition

[Jim Tarleton]

I laughed at the text, and cried a little in sympathy. I know it so well, having just about given up muzzle-loading shooting because I can't manage the jack-in-the-box performance for loading and recover my position fast enough to actually aim the shots within match time-limits.

I still do competitive BPCR shooting, and am an ace at cleaning my Long Range Sharps while lying down. I would load and clean my muzzle-loaders lying down too, but the rules here don't allow it. This tilts the odd in favor of those with a fully-functioning set of knees. And let's not say too much about pills, otherwise we might end up with doping dests for the senior classes!

I knew I was in trouble when my knees started making noises when I moved. I have no problem getting into the prone position, but I need a lot of help to get out of it!
