Aha.... I didnt realise the arm was allowed to be rested on a surface. Dur. I was sat there with no part of my body touching either the rest or the bench surface, just holding the pistol barrel on the rest. No wonder I had problems.. what a nugget!!

I tried 3 techniques:-

Rest only,
Rest, elbow+left arm holding right
Rest and elbow.

I found the rest and elbow to be the best.

Kind regards,

My personal preference is for 'rest only' as in a seated position I like to have my shooting arm straight and parallel to the ground - a similar position to unsupported match shooting

I've brought the benchrest home with me, so I've got a few days to find the best position to suit me. Both of the above preferred methods sound the most plausible for me to try.
