I do it some.

Offhand from 7 yards to 60, rested from 25 to 75, rapid fire from 5 to 25 yards.etc.etc.

Left-hand shooting, shooting across body(Right arm across your chest extended at full length). I put about 2/3 of the ammo into rapid, aimed fire, either two handed or right or left hand, with the remaining 1/3 in various other ways.

Basically any way I can practice. I figure shooting good, aimed fire is important for the basics, and practicing from awkward positions or something not commonly done (like hip-shooting) might help if you have to shoot unexpectedly.
