I too like a good solid rest in any tree stand for my Super 14 Contender 7x30 w/Ultradot. A good rest is a valuable asset in most deer hunting/shooting situations and can really enhance your accuracy and effective range. I use the rest for even short shots.

The board and bag rest set up works out very well in my stands and gives me a place to set the gun during the hunt. I have used a monopod shooting stick also, but prefer the board/bag where possible.
