SHOOTING FROM A BENCH

[jamesjrn]

Can someone give me some advice on how to get comfortable shooting from a bench? My range offers a chair, a square table, and that support that adjusts up and down but not very much.

I have done very little bench shooting but will be doing more with my new Marlin XT-22:

best way i've found: move the chair, put a mat down, and shoot prone lying under the bench.

Thanks, man, I will give it a try.

I've been working on getting as square as possible behind the rifle and noticed that when I do that I don't really use the support in the rear (like a traditional shaped shooting bench) so I end up resting both of my elbows on the table itself and push the rifle a little bit further forward if that makes sense?
