* There were numerous variations of the position throughout history.<ref name="auto"/>
* Best for times when shooter needs to shoot quickly, but it is a bit too far (or he is breathing a bit too hard) to risk a shot from the standing position.<ref name="petersenshunting.com"/>
* Considerably steadier than standing position.
* For most people it is not nearly as steady as sitting but it is much faster to get in and out of.<ref name="petersenshunting.com"/>
** For some people this position can be almost as steady as the prone position.<ref name="welikeshooting.com"/>
* Strong-side knee is on the ground, weak-side knee and foot are pointing at the target while weak-side knee is supporting the elbow (It is important that the bony tip of the elbow not be planted on top of the knee cap – bone-on-bone contact allows for too much movement or it can slip.) 
* Variations:<ref name="petersenshunting.com"/>
** sitting on strong-side foot
** with strong-side foot flat
** sitting on the strong-side foot's heel with the toes grounded
* Usual advice is to use a sling for this position.<ref name="welikeshooting.com"/>
*Aided kneeling position – kneeling with crossed sticks or tripod
