Try using movement that can’t be eliminated to your advantage, the way you might when wingshooting.

“Now you need to shoot from your hind legs,” I said to Christine.

Christine is quick to shoot while sitting, her favorite field position, or prone, over a backpack, her second favorite. When it comes to offhand shooting, she isn’t alone when she avoids it, doesn’t want to practice it and figures that, if she must shoot offhand, she just won’t shoot. That isn’t possible in offhand shooting. Doesn’t matter how strong you are, how much practice you do, you simply cannot hold a firearm that steady without support. But folks still try. They’ll get on target and keep trying to hold that perfect sight picture and then they get tired, and pretty soon they yank the trigger in exasperation, and miss. They don’t want to do it anymore — until they are in the field and the only shot presented must be taken offhand and the process is repeated.

It’s the same principle in rifle shooting. Let’s say you have a target out at 100 yards or so — it doesn’t matter what it is, a paper bull’s-eye, a soda can or a metal gong. Instead of trying to place the sight or crosshairs directly on the center while you try to stifle movement that you cannot, start the sight picture to either side or above or below the target, far enough out that you can establish a steady movement toward the spot where you want the shot to break.
