Good!

When I grew up it was with a firearm in my hands, and shooting off hand was the only thing I ever knew. I had never shot off a bench until I started putting scopes on firearms. I haven't shot 100yds off hand in at least four years, but I'll say this, I'm not in the shape I was four years ago either.
I'm not used to holding and shooting off hand any more. For me to start shooting off hand again, I'd have to practice holding the rifle up, doing the best to gain my strength back for doing so and to learn to remain steady, but I wouldn't be sending rounds down range until I could hold the rifle steady. That doesn't mean perfectly steady.
I guess that might be the reason for my earlier post, where I mentioned great shooters practicing holding weights out.
