Progress on "offhand" shooting
« on: June 17, 2012, 06:22:31 AM »
Went out today to practice some more "offhand" shooting. I was able to call all my shots. Thats a big improvement. I also kept them all in a resonable, 3", group. That was at 50 yards. I know lots of you guys are a lot better than that,but for me just starting out thats very good.The important thing was I was able to call the shots. Now with more strengthening work at the gym I shoud be able to control the rifle much better. Progressing a little at a time. FRJ

Good on ya!  When I call my shots, I usually just say, "OK, this one is going downrange..."   ;D

Not being that certain, I just sorta suggest a direction.  That way, if I say "east" and it goes between "north" and "south", it doesn't hurt my reputation!   ;D

More seriously, the best thing I ever did for my offhand shooting was acquire a good air gun.  With it, I have no excuse not to practice almost daily.

Nothing is hard if you have the right equipment and know how to use it.  OR have friends who have both.
