Descending aim offhand.

[ADK Bigfoot]

I use the descending method when target shooting. It settles the hold (and the nerves). Motion is inevitable; controlled motion creates center hits. "trust your wobble" was the first instructions given to me by my first USIMLT instructor. Good advice.

Eons ago when I shot NRA High Power Service Rifle I used a descending aim. The rifle's 14 pound weight seemed more natural to drop down onto target than raise up. Something about letting gravity do the fine tuning.

Another former High Power shooter. I find coming down works best shooting offhand on targets. That said I might try coming up and compare. For me there’s no relation to hunting. I make every possible effort to NOT have to take offhand shots at game animals unless they’re real big and real close. I avoid offhand standing shots on game whenever I can. That said, my shots on elephant and Cape Buffalo were offhand, and never over 30 yds. I also never shoot at a running game animal. That’s just me.

I've never used either so I was surprised that it was mentioned as prohibited at the ML club I just joined. Their berms aren't real high, and they don't own much land behind them.
