I find that it benefits me to hold the firearm comfortably into the shoulder with my left hand holding the forearm not too far forward and allow the recoil to move my body rather than attempting to jam the butt into my shoulder and rattling my teeth very time I shoot.

With a light rifle on a rest I prefer to keep my hand under the forearm, with a heavy rifle I hold the forearm down as I use a rest with them anyway.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
