About a year ago I shot an IDPA match one of the stages was laying on your side, so the thought was shoot that gansta style- could hit crap. Then I watched several others try the same thing, their results were about the same lots of misses. Conclusion if you are going to shoot that way you'll need lots of rounds.
I too selected one of the yes answers, fortunately I had practiced shooting from all types of angles and yes even firearm sideways. I also have shot in IDPA matches where you were on your side to engage the target shooting under an obstacle. The sight picture is somewhat difficult getting used to, however if practiced it can be an effective hold technique. For those veterans out there you know you can never predict what positions you will find yourself in while engaging your "target" and trying to stay somewhat covered/concealed at the same time. This technique proved useful outside the competition, practice, training arena. Is this the preferred technique absolutely not however being prepared for possible situations is preferred.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I needed to comment anyway. Mainly for safety reasons. Tilting the gun sideways, known as "canting", is not an effective combat shooting methodology. It will get you killed!
What do you mean by this?

Glockster, I thought that you were talking about in a gunfight, but needed to be sure. If not in a gunfight and just wanting to try different things and goof around with your buddies, I don't see anything harmful about doing the"gangsta shoot".
