A Thankful Lefty in a Right Handed Gun World!

[cookie62]

I am a lefty but right eye dominate. always shot long guns right handed, but shot pistols lefty. Spent the last winter drawing right handed trying to train myself. Went to the range today for the first time with a right handed holster for my XD. didn't take a lefthanded holster so I couldn't "chicken out". Shot realy well, draw was good, reloads seemed even better. The only problem was the slide release jabed my left thumb if I didn't keep it down, other than that it was great to get out there. (Been a long winter) I'm going to buy a couple more right handed holsters and keep it up. It seemed like I got on target alot faster. We'll see what happens.

I'm with Marshal.

My dad and school pushed me to be right handed in most things.

But I shoot a rifle and a shotgun left handed and a pistol right handed.

"That's the way it is."

I am a lefty. I shot long guns left handed and shot a hand gun left or right handed with the right hand score just a little lower then the left.  Dad told me to shot with two eye not one.  A right handed reload is slower so I carry lefty.

Here is one for you...I shoot pistol, rifle, shotgun right handed right eye dominent but shoot the longbow left handed.  Never had a fancy sight for the bow so I just pulled back, sighted the best I could and let fly.  Hit the target some and missed some.  Never hunted or anything, just messed around.

I am a lefty and was never forced to do anything righthanded as a youngster, but my father had the foresight to know that I could be at a disadvantage later in life if I shot long guns left handed.

From the time I had my first daisy he would encourage me to hold it to my right shoulder. My first bolt action came at the age of 10, a custom mauser 98 that I still have almost 50 yrs later and cherish as a memory of my father and the great times we had together in the Maine woods.

I'm a lefty since 1945.  First grade teacher tried to force righthanded writing, dad got that straigntened out real quick as he is also a natural lefty.

I always shot righthanded (had to close left eye to airm) until 1965 when the Army put the M-14 on my left shoulder because I am left eye domnant.  Since then shoot with both eyes open.  Right handed gun just another tool those of us in our (right mind) learn to use expertly.

Doesn't the RIGHT side of the brain handle logic and practicality? Guess that means you're in your RIGHT mind
