Gotta learn to shoot leftie!

Had three does within 5 yards last night. But, of course, they came in from the opposite direction of where I figured they would (off to my right). For a half an hour I tried to figure out how to get a shot off without gettin' busted. I'm gonna start practicin' left handed.
Thanks for the ambidextrous safety, Bill!

It really isn't that hard. I tried a few practice shots this fall at my target and I was getting 2" groups at 20yards off hand.

DavidT, I was in a motorcycle accident which required me getting steel plates and pins installed in my badly broken arm. I was in a cast from my shoulder to my wrist for over a year, not wanting to miss hunting season that year I practice all summer shooting left handed with a 22. Now I am just as comfortable shooting left handed as I am right handed. It has payed off more that a few times over the years while hunting.

I actually practised it this summer at the range on the 3D targets, and it's not that hard. Alsmot came in handy last time out, since five deer appered to my right, just never gave me a clear shoot.
