At the range I have noticed several different shooting styles was just wondering what your prefered style and why.

First, I set the gun down on the window or tree branch, fence post. Then, I make sure to get BOTH ELBOWS on something solid. If you look all chicken winged, you are doing something wrong. I put my left hand on the topside of the barrel.

When sighting in, I always shoot the same. Once sighted in, I usually shoot supported and non supported. You never know when in the field. JMO

Obviously there's different positions but I get the hint that you're talking about the most ideal one.
I rest the front stock on whatever, use my left hand to support the butt stock from underneath. Usually just sit the butt on top of my fist. The rest is the same for a right handed shooter.

Never rest the barrel on a support. Use the forend for support.
