It certainly can be loaded to cut through the wind, and maintain supersonic flight into ELR "extreme long range".

I throw left handed but everything else, included shooting, is done right handed.

Oh, that doesn't even have a modicum of humor in it.

I'm same as OP. Left-eye dominant. 'Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, from inside, when I was a kid. Thank goodness Dad figured it out.

that's what you get when you type from an iPhone....hey me too becomes #metoo


they are doing more studies and finding out that people are more ambidextrous than originally thought. apparently being lefthanded was considered a mortal sin in prior decades and they did everything they could to correct it.

The hands can be made to be ambidextrous. Break your dominant hand or wrist, end up in a cast, and your other hand will become more useful. I have forced myself to do lots of things with both hands. Initially it was running a welding arc, some places are right hand welds, and vice versa. The same holds true for rifle shooting. I have forced myself to be able to shoot from both sides of the rifle. It has served me well hunting as well as competing.

its amazing how the body can adapt. I threw a baseball right handed and batted right. Basketball I shot with my right hand but assumed I would have a higher % of shots if I shot left due to being left I dominate. I forced myself to shoot with my left hand and after awhile it became perfectly normal while now shooting with my right hand (which was naturally what my body wanted to do) feels totally foreign

I am very slightly left eye dominant. Do everything right-handed, including shooting. Tried shooting left-handed and it was a complete no-go. Physically, I'm very right side dominant.

I'm both eye dominant or neither eye dominant. If I had to pick one I'd say right, that's how I naturally shoot but have no problem going lefty.

Grew up as a baseball player and switch hit starting in little league. In college I threw batting practice as a lefty once even though I'm a natural righty. I've been ambidextrous as long as I can remember.

I was right eye dominant until I lost vision in it. Now shoot left handed rifles but it took a little time to get use to it. Deer jump up and tried to mount it to my right until I really got use to it.

Right hand/Right eye dominant. Right-handed rifle and shotgun shooter.

Handguns - either hand/eye combination.

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

+1. But couldn't get myself to like left-handed bolt guns. So shoot left handed using right handed guns. Works for me but had an incident whereby a .308 case blew out while shooting and the gas and powder was expelled into my face through the right handed vent. I was zeroing a new scope at my range so safety glasses kept my eyes from getting possibly injured. After that, always feel I'm taking a chance when not using glasses.

I can shoot left or right and am comfortable either way. Most things I do today, I do left handed. I still write right handed but can also write left handed.

You have a rare set of skills sir.

I've been a welder/ fabricator since 1996. There were times I just could not make certain welds, in odd positions left handed. So, I forced myself to weld right handed when needed. Years later, I did the same thing with rifles and pistols, and it has been very helpful.

Guys I welded with would sometimes come get me to make a "left hand weld". I would do it, and tell them, it is all in their head as to why they aren't welding left handed when needed.
