I shoot right handed. Tried to shoot left in practice, never tried in the woods. If I shot left, I would be very clumsy at it.

I'm right handed and usually shoot right handed. I have practiced left hand shooting, and can hit the target in a practice situation, but that's not like the stress of a hunting situation.

I should practice left hand shots more just in case that big buck gets lost and wanders by on the wrong side of the stand I guess.

I'm a lefty. I've never tried right hand shooting, but I can appreciate the benefit of being able to shoot from both sides. I might give it a try in the off-season to see if I can become confident out to 20 yards from my wrong side.

I started a thread for this and called it "off hand" shooting. I can shoot equally well either way and challendge everyone to practice a few shots using their weak side. I know it has helped me score on more than one trophy buck the past twenty years.

I use a mirror and shoot over my shoulder backwards! KIDDING! I'm a righty, and have not tried shooting left. But now that you mention it, I think I'm gonna start practicing with my off hand. That may come in handy someday.

I can shoot either way with my Exocet, rifle, shotgun or handgun. I am one of the lucky ones that were left handed as a kid but my parents made me learn to use my right hand to write with. I am left eyed dominate which makes the transition even easier when having to switch over in the stand.

Do you need to make a counseling appointment, Hoss?
