Since nobody else has suggested this, put some emphasis into your core. Specifically abs and lower back. More strength and endurance is determined by your core than people think.

How is the stability when shooting a rifle from the yoke position? Aka in a seated position with the rifle resting on the extended frame, similar to a bipod.
I think the people know what they are doing, but they don't care. Judging by the beer cans and bottles, they were hungover when they packed up and said, "Eff it, not my problem." They assumed people are employed to pick up trash, kind of like their favorite city park.
