I shoot my best when I don't overthink it. I only shoot paper but try to simulate real world conditions by "just shooting". Usually generates best results.

Yep! Many pine cones are injured or killed during my shooting sessions!Those big ginormous Ponderosa pine cones I bet really dance around when hit.

Here in Tucson Az there's not a lot of pine trees unless i get up into the higher elevation. But i will keep the pine cones in mind. Here its a 12ga and a giant tumble weed, if it wanted to see something dance and disintegrate into little pieces upon impact. It's kinda fun when your able to shoot at one while it's rolling.

Re: PT7 -- my short primer on shooting off hand
I could not agree more. I like to shoot offhand with all my rifles. I am a rather large beast and sitting at a bench hunched over a rifle is not comfortable or natural. when I am woods walking, I stop raise rifle line up sights id target squeeze. sometimes in hunting situations this needs to be accomplished within just a few seconds. the wobble? well just got to time the shots and wobble consistently.

We all wobble. It's a myth that good offhand shooters are steadier than us mortals. A good offhand shooter just knows how to deal with the wobble, better.
