ProGunGuy Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 i have been advised before thta when running a u shaped or straight left right/ right left course, that it is best to run it the opposite of your strong hand. so if you are right handed, you would run it left to right and vice versa, The reasoning is that on the reloads it is less likely to DQ Any truth to what i have been told?

McGlock Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I tend to run them left to right being a right handed shooter. This is an easier reload going to the right.. Easier to run and not break 180.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Being right handed and left eye dominant I run those type of courses right to left normally. Maybe I don't move fast enough to cause a problem with my reloads. Edited April 23, 2013 by Blueridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The reasoning is correct. All else being equal, I'll go L to R (right handed). I've see a blatant 180 DQ by a right handed shooter facing left and turning the gun left to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does your muzzle point when doing a reload? If you go through the motions with your hands, I think you will find that you naturally point the muzzle to your weak side. [edit to add] ... Thus, if you are right handed, and moving to the left, you will have turned your body in that direction. This adds to the amount of turn you already have in your natural reload. So, if you naturally point 45 degrees to the side when you reload, and your body is turned 45 degrees for movement to the next position...you are all over line with the point of your muzzle.

EkuJustice Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I am a right handed shooter and. Will usually shoot left to right unless the layout makes it more practical or a better option to run it the other way. Then I just watch the reloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
