Shooting off the bench is great for zeroing your scope. Point of impact will change when shooting in the field freehand or with an improvised rest.
Huh!!! I have been hunting and shooting for over 25 years and have never had my POI change due to changing rests or shooting positions. IF your gun is sighted in and hitting where you aim on the range, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON (other than human error) why a gun should not shoot "true" in hunting conditions.
