I used to raise the elbow of my bridging arm into my field of vision. The intent and effect was to insure my face and bridge were always in the same orientation. In and of itself, it works pretty well. Another benefit is it makes you look like those bar posers with the snaky bridge armHow do you know if your bridge hand is a little too much left or right?
I too have fiddled with my elbow, not raising it, but creating a 90 degree angle/elbow/bridge hand and liked the results but. I then took the thought process in another direction. Have been watching my grandson shoot (rifles) allot in competition, it made me think this. When aiming your rifle, you look at two sights on your barrel. One close, the other at the end of the barrel. What I've transposed that into is this. When I set my bridge hand down, I now use my bridge hand index finger upper knuckle to confirm my shot line. It's my sight on the end of my barrel.I used to raise the elbow of my bridging arm into my field of vision. The intent and effect was to insure my face and bridge were always in the same orientation.

Cut to now, I use the stick to locate itself to the shot. Double vision (another cue from the drunks) is the key. With your chin and nose aligned to the stick, instead of struggling to focus on everything, just stare blankly and the twin sticks will show you the true line. (place laughter here) This actually works on everything you need your best alignment. It's effective as anything I've ever tried and no sweat to learn.
