Bullseye rules require one hand shooting.
The reason for putting the off hand in a pocket is for repeatability.
You want to do everything the same, every time.
Same grip, same sight picture, same body position.
If your off hand moves, it throws off your balance.  (If the TV tech's
hand moves, he probably gets zapped.)
Leaving your hand in your pocket also requires no effort to keep it
from moving, so there is one less thing to worry about.
