RE: Anybody have any tips for shooting offhanded?
Practice.
I think too many guys just sight in at the range, and shoot maybe once or twice "to get ready" for hunting. Then they get an opportunity under hunting conditions, with less than an optimal rest or body position, and they just miss.
I agree that using a 22 or something very light in recoil is the best way to practice a lot without developing bad habits like flinching.
