Sitting offhand is very close to as difficult as standing offhand.

Any squirrel or rabbit out to 35 yards is going to be in mortal danger; they'd better pray you don't find a rest!

Nice shooting. Personally I find those these tiny little groups at 50+ yards are only good for indicating how well the gun is shooting and what the wind was like that day. In real hunting or field target positions, you have to at least double those group sizes. From any kind of realistic (even rested) position and not cherry-picking low wind days, I'm happy to get close to 1" @ 30 yards.

THAT is excellent shooting Frank! GREAT grouping unsupported no less!

Wish I could do that! The ONLY way I can get tight groups is very well bench rested! Anything else, I shake too much .....

Keep shooting!

Well said.. testing bullets/pellets from a rest let's you know what the gun/pellet are doing. Off hand shooting a totally different game. Nice shooting!!
