Shooting Off The Magazine Monopod – Savage Joy!

Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- AR Monopod

When shooting ARs, and most other rifles that accept AR magazines, from the prone position, a thirty-round magazine can be used as a monpod for increased stability. It is just a matter of lowering your body until the bottom of the magazines meets the deck.

This technique enables most shooters to achieve a high level of stability, a level unobtainable via any other posture.

Some will argue that allowing the magazine to thus touch the deck will throw the next shot off target, but we’ve made good use of this technique for some time now, and that contention has demonstrated itself to be untrue, at least at the ranges where we commonly shoot.

I think this technique represents a valuable addition to the Operator’s toolbox, but it will not work with a twenty-round magazine, nor a forty-round magazine. The former is too short, and the latter too long.

For this, and other reasons, I regard thirty-round magazines to represent the best option for ARs
