chirpy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Move the target in to 7 yds. When you can consistently get good groups at 7 move to 10 then to 15 then to 20-25. Check around for a mentor to help you out. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It really helps to have company. I mean, other (experienced) shooters. Someone that can pick up on the little things you do wrong. You will thank them for their input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flycaster Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 catwrench- why do you want to shoot right handed? If you're a natural southpaw, and are left eye dominant, don't switch. You need to work on improving your shooting, period. Why not take a lesson from a pro? Worth every penny. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Lots of us running around who do halfway decent shooting with the wrong hand. If you think shooting right-handed is going to help, you're in for a surprise. Most find it takes a good bit of practice just to catch up to where you are with your naturally dominant hand.

catwrench Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I understand but , have to give it a try to find out,odds are your right,once when i hurt my left hand and was forced to write with my right hand i was very amazed how good it looked and you could read it . might be i can shoot with this hand as well or i can't hit the broad side of a barn. will not know till this week end.

ichetucknee Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Technique is everything. If you are left handed shoot left handed. Find someone that can give you informed instruction. It's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I just don't see how shooting with your non-dominant hand would help. If your technique isn't sound with your strong hand it's not going to be any batter with your weak hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
