Naughty but fun gun rest

[BeardyMan]

That's almost what I was referring too. You don't need a rest to stop the barrel dropping though, you hold it. Just use something vertical to stop the barrel from moving from side to side. Screwing things in is, and this is just my opinion, making things more complicated and therefore less efficient.

If you want to go really easy, then go prone (where possible) or use a shooting / range bag with rest built in
