I'm confused about the Inquartarded thing... I mean, I've done some practicing shooting WHO and SHO while moving off the line of the imaginary bad guy's attack, but nobody told me I was supposed to throw my non-gun hand into the air and wave it like I just didn't care.
Can someone tell me what that does for me?

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

It's the Flamenco influence. You get style points, particularly if holding your shemagh in your off hand.
I'm trying to work out the roots of the whole "Inquartarded" thing. Did Iniquity and Retardation have a baby of hellish stupidity?

I'm wondering if I should try to give a serious explanation or just let Brownie keep being made fun of ...
It's too early in the morning to be serious.
In traditional fencing technique, the non-sword hand was held above and behind the body to keep it from being a target. Dropping the hand/arm when you lunge toward your opponent was supposed to add a bit of force and distance.
Modern fencers tend to use a lower arm position.
In fencing, Inquartata is a single step out of the path of an opponent's lunge, along with a parry and counter to the high inside line. The off hand is thrown back to get the back shoulder out of the path of the opponent's blade, which will be passing close to the chest.
As shown, the application to firearms seems...dubious.
