RE: Help!!! Lefty' s and Semi' s
When I was little I was a lefty shooter. Bu when it came down to spending money on a new gun, I figured I would just shoot right handed, It has worked for me just fine. It took about 6 months to get used to it, but now its like second nature and I can still shoot aswell left handed. I even went to the empire state games (new yorks mini olympics) 2 times for small bore and medalled the first time. This was just a year after switching. My groups completely off-hand were about 2" at 50 yards. And prone was just a single hole about 3/8" . It just takes some time. As for the dominant eye issue, i am left eye dominant. It does not effect me at all to shoot with my right eye. The only problem that arrises is with wing shooting where a bird will take off and I have to be quick. Sometimes i forget which eye to use and i put the bead on the bird with my left eye so i miss. However this was my first season right handed upland hunting and I am sure I can change that habbit. Look at it this way, someone who has never picked up a gun will be just as bad shooter right or left handed (for arguments sake). But give them some training and they will pick it up. It was just my choice, I find it a bigger inconveinance to pay more for guns, or to shoot right handed guns lefty than it was to switch over.
