I'm under 50 (37) and I squat and dig. Sometimes have to stand back up to rest my legs and I probably look rediculous, but that's how I roll.

I'm over 50. Getting real close to the big 60. Kneel and dig. If I squat, I might not get up.

I would say do it the smart way. Buy a long handle scoop especially for the beach and that way you really do not need to kneel or anything. I know that does not work everywhere but at least in sandy places and dirt places does a heck of a job.

I squat and dig unless I don't get it on the first plug, then I kneel and get serious. At competition hunts I'll stand and look for the slit, if I don't see it, I'll drop to my knees. I'm 53.

I guess I'm somewhere between squat and kneel. I have one foot on the ground and one knee on the ground.....definitely wearing knee pads. For me, it seems to make things alot easier when digging lots of targets and for getting up. I'm a 49er....literally.
