dustyfox Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Just wanting to know if you can think of any advantages or disadvantages of being a left handed person or right handed person. I was thinking of this while in the car today, that a left handed person will find it easier to shoot a rifle from the drivers side if he was out lamping alone. Can you think of anything else?

Gordon R Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Being left handed helped Gary Sobers to be the best all-round cricketer the world has seen. Similarly - Rod Laver - the finest player in the tennis world of any era. Jimmy White doesn't quite hack it in that league, but he was pretty good.

Floating Chamber Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The best clay shooting Guys (Sporting are left handers!!) Check it out. its true! No I am right handed no were near their standard unfortunatly!. Is that because most Sporting layouts are naturally more challenging for right-handers? I'm a southpaw and I frequently 'upset' others with my scores! Also, I have a left-hand Remy 1100 to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I am right handed no were near their standard unfortunatly!. Is that because most sporting set-ups are made more challenging for the majority? I'm a southpaw and I frequently 'upset'others with my scores! Also, i have a left-hand Remy 1100 to boot! kinda have to agree there, most of the provinsial shoots (the more tougher shoot of the year) has always been imo easier for a lefty like myself, now saying that, you still have to break them right. my big advantage in being a lefty with my shotgun is opening it, as soon as ive fired the gun will fall away from the shoulder and my left hand has broken it whilst my right is digging shells out, ive never seen a tighty righty do the same thing.

Baldrick Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm a leftie too, and like Martin and others, I seem to be able to reload much quicker with an O/U or S/S than most righties. I can shoot rifles off either shoulder, which makes solo lamping excursions in the 4x4 fairly easy. Try finding a decent choice of centrefire rifles in left-hand though.............
