My turkey vest has a gun stock holder on it that helps keep the gun close to my shoulder and I just rest the end of the barrel on a piece of wood or something. The best option is to just master the mouth call and you won't have to worry about the box call. Box calls are better for longer distance while mouth calls allow you to use it hands free without making any movements while you have a turkey close or within range. Practice, practice, practice.
