Check out this guys prone position. What's up with the support hand holding the butt stock up onto his shoulder?

That is what I have been doing, but it only works when I am NOT square in my shoulders, my elbow ends up in fr ont of me , position is all wrong.I am not square to the gun then...that is why I find it nessesary to get a rear support bag.I am not compfortable or stable enough unless I bring that support elbow too far in front of me, which is learning to shoot incorrectly. I am rebuilding my posiition to be correctAND compfortable. I was getting some tight grous for a while the WRONGWAY. Now I have to break a bad habbit!
