Hipfire

Hipfire is a term used in the context of firearms and shooting sports, referring to the accuracy and stability of a firearm when fired from the hip, without the use of a sight or scope. This technique is commonly employed in practical shooting, where the shooter is required to engage targets at varying distances and angles, often without the benefit of a sight. Hipfire shooting relies on the shooter's ability to judge distance, target size, and environmental factors to make accurate shots. It is a fundamental skill in various shooting disciplines, including competitive shooting, law enforcement, and military applications. Hipfire shooting is typically practiced using pistols, revolvers, and rifles, and involves a combination of physical training, mental focus, and tactical awareness. The term "hipfire" is often used interchangeably with "offhand" or "off-sight" shooting, although the latter can also refer to shooting without the use of a sight but with the firearm in the shooter's dominant hand.
