When was the last time I shot a deer laying on the ground? Most of my deer hunting is done from a blind or a tree stand with a rail, which is a lot like shooting from a bench. Practice the way you hunt I guess, I personally never shoot at game in the prone position. The aiming point is either too high, or there are too many things to obstruct my view, like weeds and the such with varmint hunting.

You can practice trigger control and follow through just as well from a bench as you can on the ground and it is a lot more comfortable.
