I'll agree that shooting off the bench is the only way to see how well a gun shoots, but shooting ( practicing) in field positions is the only way to see how well you shoot. It is recommended that we practice shooting standing, kneeling, prone so that when the oportunity knocks we can answer the door. Keep up the good work and have fun doing it. Unless someones carrying a portable bench rest with them they better practice as you have too.

BTW I shoot off the bench to test new ammo or rerloads then I shoot standing off hand because that is the poition I plan on shooting my game from yardage varries depending on the gun ( some are scoped and intended for longer shots and some are open sights intended for close range work)
