My best ever offhand at 50 yards

Post by retAFShooter »

I had the R92 .45LC out to the range yesterday and decided to try it offhand at 50 yards. Much to my surprise I got all 16 on the paper on the silhouette target. I had tried that many times at 25 yards and was successful a few times. This was the first time trying it at 50. I still have a long way to go to be able to hunt with it offhand however.

That looks like some really good offhand shooting to me.

Nice off-hand shooting. It seems most of you shots went right. If that's the same case on the bench, I would drift the sights a bit. If that's not the case, work on trigger pull. I have a similar problem with revolver. I shoot left. When I'm not squeezing the snot out out of the grip or pulling the trigger to the right, I shoot much better. I need more practice. ;)

Here are the bench shots on the same day:

FYI, I suffer from a Neuro-muscular disorder called Myasthenia Gravis and my arm strength is not what it should be. But I am getting a little better with the offhand stuff, but not really up to par yet.

Looks good to me! I'm so bad at off-hand shooting I can't even remember the last time I tried to do it.

Well, actually, I shot my deer off-hand at about 50 yards, dropped her real quick-like with a perfect double lung pass-through shot. Winchester 94AE Trapper .44 mag.

Good job RetaafShooter. I used to be a good shot but had serious surgery early Feb. Just got cut loose from radiation 2 days ago. My strength pretty much went away and my shooting shows it. I tried shooting from my Explorer today so I could have air conditioning. Didn't shoot well but it was still fun.

With work I plan on improving, and I hope you get your shooting back to where you want it too.
