My offhand air rifle position is pretty terrible, with a pretty bad bend in my back. It's been fine thus far but I've been starting to feel soreness during long matches, which goes away in a matter of minutes but now it's time to change it for the better.
My fore-end riser is maxed out to 3.9" and I have riser blocks also nearly maxed out. What can I do to straighten my back other than to use a fist grip on my support hand?

Im not sure raising the sightline changes the shape of your back. Moving the sights higher raises the head and rotates the head. A pic would help us all understand your problm

Re: Straightening my Back in Offhand
Is a straight back the best position? Holding the rifle centre of gravity over the legs would seem to be the best position and that needs flexibility.
