Al Guess I lose then in this round as I wasn't standing but sitting on top of my freezer just to get the distance right. I STILL USED TWO HANDS WITHOUT A REST THOUGH.   Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2007 10:01 pm Jim McArthur Veteran Member Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 151 Location: New Orleans, LA, USA under500fps wrote: Jim McArthur, that is real good pistol shooting with one hand . __________________________________________________________ I have one question to the judge/moderator of this week competition. Are we allowed to shoot with an air rifle in a sitting position Rene. Thank you for your nice comment, Rene! And you were shooting mighty well, yourself!

I'm just happy to be able to particpate for the moment, tilll it last for me.   Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2007 1:26 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" I really don't know diddly about shooting competitions generally- perhaps J. or Al have a perspective on what really constitutes "free hand" or "not free hand" shooting.   Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2007 3:55 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND It depends how serious you want to be about the rules, it's not about "free hand" or "off hand" it's about shooting standing up with out any support, in a competition you wouldn't even be allowed tight trouses. In FT you can get nearly as good score sitting as you can using a bench rest, I know for a fact that most of the movement you get from standing comes from the lower body, Try shooting at a target standing with no support say 10 shots, them rest the calf of one leg against a chair and see how your score improves.
