figgy Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Depends on the gun but SxS and OU i load left handed but when game shooting i unload right handed and put the empties in my right hand pocket, if im on a hoy peg open gun let cartridges eject and slam home two more pick up empties end of the drive. Semi auto always my right as its a right handed gun and awkward with left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Right handed, hold gun in left and do everything else with right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Right handed, load with left hand, carts in left pocket. My wife loads with her right hand and it always looks awkward to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me limp wristed if you will but 8lbs plus of clay gun feels alot more comfortable holding the barrels in the left hand and allowing the stock and action to drop that t'other way round. With the sxs it's not a problem as it's much lighter and doesn't need to break nearly as far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buze Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I had to check today; I also one who splits the carts between pockets and will pick from left/right so it stays more or less equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoot and be safe Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm a left handed shooter and load with my right hand. When game shooting once I've reloaded I get another two cartridges out of my pocket and have them ready in my right hand ready to reload once I've ejected. I've got used to holding the forend with a couple of cartridges in my hand. I do the same but the opposite way round as I'm right handed. Brake the barrel with the right thumb to eject the empties and feed the two I have between my fingers in my left hand into the chambers. Just a thought here What hand do you pull the hammers back with when your Reloded The palm of my left hand and shoot from the hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Right handed, top lever moved with right hand whilst left hand fishes for shells, as soon as gun popped open, carts in and left hand on forend closing gun ready for next shot ..... Using an auto, always use right hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Right handed. Keep gun in right hand, top lever with right hand, break with left, catch carts with left and load with left from left pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 On a simulated flush i holding the gun only in right hand push lever over with my right thumb and let the barrels drop as the carts are ejecting the left hand is already pulling the carts from board or pouch to reload,left hand grabs fore end and closes the gun as i start to mount and then fire quick as can then repeat again. All the other lads on my team and most other i have watched do exactly the same as it is the quickest way to reload the gun. Regular Clay shooting it don't matter a bit.
