- The Steadiness Hierarchy: Bench & Prone Why prone and a benched rest are the steadiest platforms, what they are for (load development, zeroing, long stable shots), and their field limitations.
- Sitting, Kneeling & Standing Building each field position, the accuracy-vs-readiness trade as you go more upright, and choosing the lowest steady position the terrain allows. Goes deeper than primer: shooting-positions-field-rests.
- Shooting Sticks & Improvised Rests Bipods, tripods, and trekking-pole sticks, plus using a tree, pack, or rail; how a rest steadies the rifle and the mistakes (bounce, canting) that ruin it.
