Further, I don't shoot at 200 or 300 yards. I shoot pistols and can
offhand a full magazine from my 9 mm SIG into a very very small circle at
25 yards, the "standard" pistol distance.
So can I, and I did it several times in a row at the Marines target practice
facility in Norfolk a couple of years ago.
First time ever for me.

What's the big deal?

Do you know what offhand shooting is?

It's stupidity if someone is shooting at you. Prone, behind lots of
sandbags, is a much better position.


Some of us are smart enough to not find ourselves prone, behind a lot of
sandbags, with someone shooting at us.

Offhand shooting, dipschitt, is a competitive or range stance, not
something used in a gunfight.
