get a sling and get someone to show you how you can wrap it round your left elbow to support whilst taking standing shots too (takes a bit of practice and steady hands.
the other thing is to learn how to shoot off a stick I have a lance wood and a manuka stick I use for most of my walks and with one hand holding the stick rest the rifle on that hand to provide a stable rest no matter where you are.

I have a sling and have been taught how to shoot with it, it's probably the one shooting position i'm confident from. I mostly just want a rest of some sort to get this rifle sighted in, i'm not at all confident i got it where it needs to be.
