Thanks, Richard. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Jerry didn't say it.

To clarify, Jerry is a very nice man and is not a bragger at all; he never claimed these kind of groups. Others who work at Clark's told me this when we got to talking about offhand shooting. .5" at 100 yards seems pretty fantastic to me, if one is claiming to be able to do it consistently, not...

The older I get, the better I used to be.

I, too, am now approaching old (at least, I feel very old). I used to be a workout junkie, a competetive bike racer and runner, league basketball player, boxer, etc. Used to ride 50+ miles a day in the mountains around Los Angeles and lift weights for a couple of hours, and weighed about 160. I was ...

Trigger control turning into trigger snatching

I am primarily a silhouette shooter, and not very experienced at that. I did shoot some 3-P while in ROTC back in 1980, but very little.I have an Anschutz 1712fwt w/ 2-stage trigger, but it needs to make legal weight for hunter class. I can't make the second stage break in ounces. I'd guess it takes...

Yes, offhand.

Yes, they (the people at Clark's Guns, owned by Jerry's wife (Jim Clark Sr.'s daughter) claim he does this regularly with rifles offhand. I'm just wondering if anyone in the world can do this offhand consistently, since .5" groups are considered very good for a centerfire rifle from a bench (no...

No comments at all?

Come on, ladies and gents, I am fairly new to this and I am struggling to find the best way to shoot offhand. I have been experimenting with the approach method used by Tubb, and all I can say is that I feel like it's teaching me to snatch the trigger. Tubb claims to be very aggressive on the trigge...

Comments about D. Tubb's offhand shooting technique?

I've been reading David Tubb's book, and his approach to offhand shooting has peaked my interest. What do experienced shooters think of his "approach" technique vs. the standard "hold" technique? Thanks.

What is a good offhand group?

Can anyone give me an idea of what a really good shooter will group offhand? Say, ten shots at 50 yards/meters. Can anyone consistently group in the .5" range at 100 yards? Just curious, because the locals claim that Jerry Miculek, the noted revolver and Sportsman's Team Challenge shooter, can ...
