Kneeling position for an extra large young shooter
Posted: Mon Jan 22, 2018 11:21 pm
I received the following question from one of the 4-H shooting coaches in my state. Any suggestions?
I have a 13 year old male shooter. His prone is really good and his standing is coming along. His problem is kneeling, mainly because he is huge. This boy is probably north of 6 feet and 200 pounds. The kneeling position is absolutely excruciating for him because it is so hard for him to sink his butt down to his ankle. We have tried flexibility exercises, we have tried extra kneeling rolls (even though we know they are competition illegal)...nothing seems to help.
