I have seen bench rest shooting done two ways...
Both the butt and forearm supported .
And just the forearm supported .....
Which is the best way to get the most out of your gun....
I tried both ways.... not sure which is best for me...
Seems to me the one bag (forearm supported) takes more skill....

Front and rear support is the most stable for sure. The idea is to let the front rest and rear bag do most of the work. Grip the gun lightly with your trigger hand so as to not disturb your aim. I squeeze and manipulate the rear bag with the other hand. A steady table helps a lot to. That and lots of practice and try to be as consistent as possible shot to shot. Good luck!

I see what I am doing wrong then....
My shooting table is only clamped to my deck railing (2x6) and is only 1/2 plywood and wobbly... very wobbly bad plastic cheap c clamps

I mainly use the one bag under the forearm....
I have many shooting stands that support both areas... but never liked them...
I like the Caldwell bags the most..and have many

I will fix all my issues and let you know....

Yes a stable foundation is fundamental for many things. That should help a Lot!

oh my gosh... was that thing filthy....

after I get better plywood and clamps.....

A solid bench is worth every penny for accurate shooting, but nothing is more stable and solid than the ground. Either use a short front bipod or bag/rest and shoot prone. I use an adjustable front rest and rear bags prone when I want to shoot groups.
