Same here.... Shot a lot of NRA Hi-Power back in the 1990's with my M-1A and did most of my practicing for it from offhand. But in the hunting fields I'll take any rest I can find, if time allows it because my heart might be pounding, or a lot of other reasons. Bottom line is: Under field conditions my accuracy, on average, is a lot better from some kind of rested position. If I'm shooting at game I want all the accuracy help I can get. Accuracy.... It's the name of the game.
