I've got a short bench-rest style Harris by-pod for long shots,and home-made fiberglass shooting sticks for sitting. When I'm out of position, I pick the rifle out of the sticks, and shoot "off-hand".
Just goes to show, a guy should practice just about every style of shooting to be proficient.

BTech, that's a good looking pic!
