OFFHAND

"After studying results and placements at Camp Perry over the years, it's obvious that one's standing performance wins the title. Myself and others have said that a tournament is 'won offhand and lost at 600' and that, literally, is true. The reason is because there are a number of very good prone shooters. Separating oneself from the pack comes on the 200 yard line, first event."

"My sitting position has worked well for me for years. I have changed minor specifics only to accommodate different rifle designs I've used, but the essential position &emdash; tension, alignment, feels &emdash; is the same as always. The reason is that I believe it not only to be a fundamentally sound way to make up a platform for this event but also something I've proven to myself works the best for me."

"All shots fired at distances of 300 or more yards in competition are fired from prone. That means that between fifty and sixty percent of shots made across the course, and all at Long Range, are fired from this position. It goes without saying that it's probably the most important position, and the first one a new shooter should work on."
