The off hand challenge thread.

[25 Sharps]

I don't try and focus the lot. I was taught to line the front and rear, hold the head position and focus the front under the target.

This is how was taught to use irons

I used to do an informal 50yd offhand practice target which was 10 shots a week with a rimfire rifle. It really showed me up when I first starting doing it but you get to understand a moving crosshair and timing rather than relying on stability. It helped increase confidence no end and the improvement was noticable and quick.

These days I don't practice as such but I do a fair amount of air gun shooting around the yard and that is mostly offhand with a spring rifle which helps massively.

That's the thing, let the sight float around, eventually it will pause. Then it's just a twitch of the trigger finger.
It does get better and better the more you do.
Yes, you can not beat a simple airgun or pistol for cheap practice.

Does it count if you use a red dot sight? Roy Lupton has one to shoot his rifle canted, as seen on Fieldsports Britain.

I thought about it for my short barrelled woodland .308, but as quick to wind my scope back to 1.5 and shoot - maybe…

Count? No rules mate, just offhand.
