everyone can it's simple. but how many can accurately. and what's are your standards. 12" at 700 yards or 3" at 50

Takes a great trigger, breathing control, and being raised in Kentucky to be really good at it. wink

Based on that, I guess Im slowly giving up my man card. Used to be pretty solid off hand...not as much anymore and probably wont improve with age. smile

Lol, your good midlander, best off hand shot I've ever seen was from Long Island, NY.

You don't need to be from Kentucky to use KY windage either, it's just a state of mind. grin

hitting an 8 inch plate at 100 yards 10 out of 10 times is all you really need

how few people can do it is amazing

when you do it they think it is luck

do it with irons and you might thing you had just performed a miracle

do it with a handgun and they might wonder if you walk on water also

back when I used to shoot that was edc handgun messing around stuff when the closer stuff was getting boring. been a long time ago. I think I could still get close to that but reality is most likely very different. I'm not going to run 2.2 miles now either but it used to be easy.

Mainly mads this because so many people in different forums are just can't seem to want to hunt out of anything if they can't use some sort of brace, sticks, tripods, etc

Obviously guys that have physical issues are exempted from this post

when my son started practicing to hunt , I told him it doesn't matter where on the paper plate you hit
you just need to hit it in 3 seconds or less.
he was coming from 3 position air rifle so it was natural for him to want the middle of the middle

took a little while for him to understand , that first deer stopped running at him when she saw him and was down before she could change directions.

something I tell the air rifle kids transitioning them to shooting clay , where you want the middle of the middle in air rifle , on clay you have a very limited time till it is gone
so anything in the black your squeezing through that trigger. now of course clay are orange or white but they get it and man they start hammering clay.

All My mounted deer: Muleys and Whitetail have been taken offhand, while they were running.

I have and Can shoot offhand , Trophies I have are proof.

I have also taken Dangerous Game using a trigger stick.

Zero Shame in taking a rest when needed. Teach the youth both.

To say otherwise is just Pride.

No desire to be any kind of man and I can shoot offhand just fine, rifle or pistol.

I always shoot behind my back. Lefthanded. With my eyes closed.

Glad I read the comments…off hand to me meant shooting with the opposite hand. For instance I’m a right handed shooter, so off hand would be left handed.
I was going to comment you ain’t a man until you’ve had a turkey come in from your opposite side and be able to slide right hand up the stock and left hand down to the trigger while swapping shoulders and remaining undetected and still kill the bird. The whole time having to tell yourself which eye to focus with, lol.
And y’all just meaning not using a rest or brace of some sort, lol.
