Sco77w Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I went clay shooting with a mate yesterday and put in a really bad score so on the last stand I thought I'd have a co shooting from my left shoulder. The recoil took me by surprise but even more surprising was the fact that I hit 4 targets from the 3 pairs thrown. I should have tried it from the start.

Magus69 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I do it a lot I'm left handed but right eye dominant so normaly shoot from the right shoulder, but if I think I'd stand a better chance shooting from the left I switch and close my dominant eye. I also have a tendency to switch if I'm out on the marsh with the heavy artillery and having a good flight, the dog has also got used to it and will switch sides to suit. Mike...

Ferret Master Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Do you know what your dominant eye is? FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huffhuff Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I do it just to do it. It's another technique in the arsenal. There could be a particular clay or bird that is more suited for your weak shoulder... All in favour or practicing weak shoulder. Maybe I'm bias as I also shoot practical where you have no choice really...plus from the hip (which I've used in the hide to great avail) Give it a go people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can shoot off both As started RH, then swapped to left due master eye issues so can shoot of either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
