Or do you always use a bipod, rest, or support of some kind?
I often find myself gravitating to shoot the rifles offhanded, for no purpose other than the challenge. After dialing in with support to confirm the rifle is doing it's job, I immediately go to offhanded to see just how good or bad I am.
It's a humbling experience, especially with the stout calibers..and ammo starts to pile up. Recently did this with my 30-06. I was able to hit the 6 and 8 inch steels pretty good, and after about 13/14 rounds I was ringing the little 3" steel.
I finished the box and then I picked my shoulder up off the ground and went back to the house.
