In terms of shooting stance, what does the term 'benchrest position' refer to?

A standing shooting position
Using a surface to support the firearm
A prone shooting position
A kneeling shooting position

The correct answer is: Using a surface to support the firearm

The term 'benchrest position' refers to using a surface to support the firearm. This position is commonly used in shooting sports where the shooter rests the firearm on a bench or similar surface to achieve stability and accuracy while shooting. This method helps reduce the impact of hand tremors and muscle fatigue, resulting in improved precision. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the benchrest position. A standing shooting position refers to shooting while upright, a prone shooting position is lying on the stomach while shooting, and a kneeling shooting position involves shooting from a kneeling stance.
