shooting positions

[oldnewbie]

Seeing as how it's been 20+ years since I last shot, I notice that there are more shooting positions other than the creedmore. So what are they and what do they look like when in position?
I see you talking about the flop. So what is it and how do you look (position wise) when in that position?

Sorry for such a basic question, but it has been years and I know some new things come about.

Flop position is lying on your belly facing the targets with the gun extended in front of you. The trick is to not let any part of the gun touch the ground. Most people remove a small amount of the bottom of their grip so the palm of the shooting hand extends below the grip. Then rest the forend on the other hand. This allows you to use a higher magnification rifle scope if you are shooting a cartridge that doesn't recoil to bad.
