If this is the wrong place to post, I apologize. Trying to focus on those of you who shoot offhand since my intent is to only shoot that way. I am very new to both rifle and off hand shooing (bullseye pistol shooter). Just fyi, I am 69.
My new 10/22 (Kidd barreled receiver/ heavy stock with Weaver scope) weighs right at 10 pounds. It seems pretty heavy, but so far I am shooting it "OK" at 25y, keeping it in the black on the A23 target. Is this a decent weight, or perhaps too heavy for offhand only?
The reason I am asking is when I started bullseye pistol I really favored the lighter pistols and sort go went in that direction. However, as I started shooting a lot, and likely developed some specific muscles I realized I actually prefer a heavier pistol (shooting offhand, one handed).
I have tried to so some research but it seems most shooting disciplines involve prone and kneeling positions.
