She's cupping her arm under her shooting hand (and presumably above her right bicep) to try and stabilize the weapon, to prevent the recoil impulse from moving the gun out of her stance. Although that technique is more a movie trope and last ditch thing, and is probably the worst way to handle the weapon for accuracy in that situation.
Edit: wait no, she's bracing the gun against the table with pressure on the bipod. That actually would work.
I see now that it's Kim Jong Un's daughter in the pic, so she probably had no training in firing the weapon. From the way she's holding it, she's probably lucky the scope didn't kick back into her eye.
They were probably firing blanks so they can claim they hit a bull's eye every time.
