Title: Can't hit the broad side of a football field.
Post by: gdm620 on May 25, 2012, 11:40:20 PM
Free Hand!

Finally had some free time to go shoot my P-Rod today.  It was cloudy and calm.  I made me a shooting bench so I wanted to go try it out.  I shot some 2 inch targets out at 50 yards off the rest.  Then I tried one at 50 Yards free hand.  Man I suck free hand.  Need more practice.  I shot 3 smaller one inch targets at 25 yards from the rest.  These are crosman dome 14.3 gr. pellets.  This gun seems to like them.  I had a good time shooting today.  It is raining out now.  We needed the rain though.

Free hand is an art, hard practiced! You have to do a lot of it.

I do too much bench and chair sittin shootin myself, it's comfortable, the feedback is great (all in the bull or near it) and it's closer to the refreshments than standing  ;D

It might suck,, you might be to practise,, it may be an art,, but if you think that's bad you haven't seen me try it yet,, and you're not ever going to see me make a fool of myself either. When I was a bit younger, I was reasonably good at grouping with most firearms I owned but now I make no false claims as to my non ability to continually shoot well. If I have a rest to shoot from, I am ok but I wouldn't even attempt any freehand standing. High blood pressure put a stop to any of that. I have tablets to take for it but they make me feel the exact opposite,, like I have no pressure at all and I get dizzy...

It's the devil and the deep blue sea for me... I'll settle for the deep blue...

Practise I guess is the answer for you...

Being too hard on yourself with that off hand shooting. Looks good  :-*

Nothing to sneeze at with a pistol at 50 yards.
