RammerJammer Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Why is it so hard for me to shoot around the left side of the barricade? I'm right handed and it is extrememly awkward. I have to fight the sights and search for the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetracer013 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 You are probably too close to the barricade. You may also be blading your body to the target. Try taking two steps back and keeping your lower body square to the target. That will allow you to lean further to your left while keeping the shooting platform that you use without a barricade.

lugnut Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Left side is going to be a little harder for right handed, right eye dominant shooters. You need to use more bend your left knee more to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmanCdp Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Left handed shooters deal with this for 8 out of 10 stages in every match.. Grab some used target and practice dry firing this in or out of the house.For practicing outside,all you need is a verticle 2x4 to reference as the barricade wall..Look at the position of your barrel and arms while dry firing.If you have your arms an stuck out 2 or 3 feet past the barricade,then you are to close and probably all twisted up. .I find it amazing to watch Gordon Carroll from ComTac shoot around a wall.He is kinda tall,but seems like he just leans out from the waist up when pieing around a wall engaging targets..

RePete Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Quite often I just switch hands and go as a lefty. Been doing this for 28 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicVerAZ Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 On the weak side you are to rotate further out, is all. This needs to be drilled until it becomes natural. I would not use the barricade for support, as it makes you recoil in a different manner. You handle recoil better when it is consistent. The Bianchi barricade exercise is different, because it is not practical shooting. As for switching hand, RePete does his thing. I know someone who does that too. You need to consider the time you take actually switching physically, plus the time it takes to adapt to this new situation. But whatever works for you.

Mike21STI Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 As a rule of thumb, I always stay at least an arms length away from cover, it helps with seeing the targets and aids not having to lean as far you stay balanced better... In my opinion anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't against the rules so go for it if it works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
