In a case of wandering around open country, what's the longest offhand-shot kill you've made? No rest, no help, just you, the rifle, and ol' Wiley Kyote or Bambi--whatever?
Part Deux of this question is, what's the longest shot where you just leaned against a tree or truck-hood, or sat down and "had at it"?
For me, the offhand was on a running buck at maybe 175 yards; broke his neck just in front of the shoulders. The other was from leaning on the jeep seat, "half off-hand", at around 350.
In other longish shots, I was all scrunched up against some brace. On average, most of my deer have been shot offhand, but from 30 to maybe 125 yards at most.
