Absolutely correct, and why I suggested standing and being more upright mayr help the OP.
My local club has benches for average size shooters. I get as high as I can but the setup gets wobbly (I need to come up with something better than this) but much higher and the muzzle comes close to the header over the shooting position. My spotting scope in the photo is just under the header. Range is in an urban area, so it's an effort to force everyone to keep the muzzles pointed low, but a bit awkward for taller shooters.
Rifle in the photo is not my cheek slapper, it has a straight and low comb.
