Most consistent POI - clamped down or resting free?

It’s been years since I shot a deer or pig offhand, though squirrels, armadillos, and skunks are dispatched (or missed) offhand. I sight in rifles, work up accuracy loads, and shoot paper for fun off a bench and sandbags. Once I have the level of accuracy I want, I’m good. My confidence level in shooting offhand is pretty high, but it will never be as good as shooting braced on a tree, post, or whatever. If the offhand shot opportunity is out past 100 yards or so, I’ll usually pass. I don’t need the meat that bad.

All that said, I have a Tikka T1X in 22lr. Great trigger and scope, and I can really shoot that jewel offhand. I could never shoot my 9422 or 39A as well.

That would all depend on how you shoot in the field. My box blinds have front and rear rests(if needed).
My other stands have shots less than 100. Assuming animal is standing still, if you miss under 100, you might want to devote some serious time to the range.
