whilst shooting off a rest is great to improve your paper accuracy and good practice, don't get to caught up in it if you intend to shoot game animals, not often will an animal present itself and wait whilst you set your rest up, I mostly practice sitting with my knees supporting my elbows or prone resting on my bag.
get a sling and get someone to show you how you can wrap it round your left elbow to support whilst taking standing shots too (takes a bit of practice and steady hands.
the other thing is to learn how to shoot off a stick I have a lance wood and a manuka stick I use for most of my walks and with one hand holding the stick rest the rifle on that hand to provide a stable rest no matter where you are.
