    I remember reading the old deer cullers books, think it may have been someone like Phillip Holden, they said always use the best rest you could get. Prone over anything, sitting or resting on something and then as an absolute last resort, standing. Solid advice I’ve always used in the bush, why risk screwing up the shot standing when you had the option to rest on something
