Amen as well to stablized firearms. Gotta have your weapons stable, or your bullets go everywhere but where you want them. I don't know how many rounds I fired using the wrong arm to pull my weapon into my shoulder, but half of them liked to be two meters off target... and all that from just a little fatigue wobble at 200 meters.

Once I realized I was using my supporting hand to pull my M-16 into my shoulder, and switched to my trigger hand, the fatigue was nixed and I qualified on that run. (I had like, four runs on qualification day, and botched most of them because I couldn't stay COMFORTABLE in the prone, or the barrel would wobble all over the place. Not exactly making it easy to figure out what's wrong either when it's 98 degrees F in high georgia humidity with a Drill shouting at you to "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE DAMMIT!" They thought I was scared to miss. I ain't scared to miss when I know I'll miss when the sights are off to the LEFT, the RIGHT, or just plain out of allignment.)
