mal,
your unexpected post here causes me to comment.
the first observation is that years shooting fclass off a rest obviously hones offhand skills to a sharp edge.
secondly, the degradation endured shooting at lower light range is a serious aid in producing the kind of expectations required for shooting offhand.
I put my success down to 2 things.
one is the self compensating feature of a gaintwist barrel. wherever you wobble, it just keeps delivering.
the other is that all the women who flock to lower light thought I would be there as usual, thus avoiding the distractions normally requiring blotting out during shooting.
it was a pleasure to shoot without one catfight in the vicinity.
what does offhand have in common with fclass? don't shoot until a perfect sight picture presents.
the admission that my poor old body is a bit stiff this morning says that a bit of muscle training would not hurt if this offhand thing is to happen more often.
keep safe,
bruce.

.... or perhaps if you succumbed more often to those ladies you speak of.

john,
antibiotics won't work.
it is more the kind of morals that happen with the downhill slide that comes with age.
