[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 112835, member: 2011"] When bench shooting I place the front rest where I would put my hand if w/o the rest. The trigger finger hand grips the pistol grip and 'holds' the rifle firmly against the shoulder. The other hand squeezes the rear sand/beanie bag to achieve a 'natural' rest w/the cross hairs at the point of aim when the hand on the bag is relaxed. I then hold the rear bag rather than squeeze it much. However, I would recommend getting away from the bench and onto a bipod from the ground. But I don't have the guts to shoot anything from a 338 Win on up, prone without a brake. [/QUOTE]
