I have found whenever resting a firearm against a hard surface, that shots go wild,the moreso if the gun is lighter, rather than heavier. The best support other than sandbags, is to rest your hand on the support, and to grasp the gun normally, with your fingers, as you ordinarily would, using a sling or lanyard, if available, to provide a slight isometric tension to dampen any muscle tremors. Old buffalo hunters or safari shooting sticks exploited this principle.
