I spend more time, on the sticks, shoulder against a tree, sitting on a 5 ga. bucket elbow on knee, and offhand, than I do at the bench. Bench practice does have it's place, but hunting situations need to be practiced more, for me anyway. I'm not very good offhand, have got lucky a couple times, but found in most cases I can get in the sling, or on the sticks in plenty of time.
