I do'nt handle ammo or pencils with my support hand.
And yeah, LOL on the offhand differences... I just found that the more close contact I had with the gun offhand, the beter I was, rahter than just a big blob out there and not being able to feel the gun and contact etc.
Do know those that shoot with batters gloves on the firing hand also. Tried and and simply never saw any benefit for that for me.
For me, the padding is an issue if you sling up the way you should for rapids... and even at times for prone slow though I try not to shoot slower than 22 in about 10-12 minutes max. (also aobut the length my eyes could hold up for slow prone)
