why do you have to have your nose on the charging handle ???
NTCH (or near it) helps in Standing by producing a more easily consistent head position. With adjustable stocks, it puts more of the weight between your hands which creates a steadier hold.
You'll notice that all position rifles have adjustable length stocks and that all great Standing shooters, if they can, shorten the stock for Standing as compared to other positions. I would say "all" but there are a lot of Service Rifles that have fixed stocks. This, however, is not ideal and people shoot Standing better with shorter stocks. The position should be small and tight not open and dangly.
The only people who don't shoot (N)NTCH are the speed shooters (3-Gun, etc). In that case, a head position somewhat farther back is advantageous for speed. They also don't like NTCH because they bump into things with the gun mounted. That can be painful. But that is room-clearing distances or near it (maybe 50 yards?). I *guarantee* that if a champion 3-Gun shooter tried to hit a 6" target at 200 yards 20 times in a row they would fail if they maintained the "speed"-type head position and stance. The small, close stance is simply more stable and more repeatable which means that each shot lands closer to the same POI.
Sitting? Same basic principle - get more of the weight between your hands. Get a position that is tight & bunched up, not laid out and wobbly. Kneeling, again, you want to have the mass of the body leaning forward into the gun, not spread out away from the gun.
In Prone, people naturally crawl the stock when using an unsupported or slung position. Again, it's getting more weight between your hands and that improves stability. Your body is pulled out along the length of the rifle. With a standard adjustable AR carbine stock, I'm not just NTCH, I'm on top of the CH.
However, when using a bipod or bags, that is not a concern - you aren't reaching forward to grasp the forend. Your shoulders are going to be more square with each other. That allows you to have some space between the CH and your face. If you are using a rear bag or a fist, it can be advantageous to position the weight of the head more over the rear support.
But I don't haul bipods or bags around. And if I do shoot with some sort of support, NTCH isn't much of a disadvantage if at all.
One reason I don't shoot a pure NTCH is that it rubs my nose raw.
