According to me, there is no “best” hunting shooting position for all situations. Each position has strengths and weaknesses and it is up to the hunter to choose the position that allows him or her to take the most accurate and ethical shot. I use Standing Shooting Position many times. It allows me to see over all but the tallest grass, brush and gives the best field of view. Unfortunately, the standing position is also the least stable shooting position. However, this is not really a problem when shooting at very close range (<50 yards). I personally do not like to take a shot past 50 yards using an unsupported standing position.
