ohsevenflhx Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) If given a choice with target position when shooting strong hand or weak hand is it better to shoot targets out to in, such as right hand shoot right to left and left hand shoot targets left to right. Or does it really matter. Edited February 4 by ohsevenflhx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Shoot 'inwards' with the gun hand. Humans are much better at pulling one arm in than pushing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVC Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Usually "out to in" but this is also a consequence of the slight natural cant when shooting one-handed, where the gun recoils towards the next target naturally. Don't stress, if opposite makes more sense, e.g., shooting as you move in/out of position, there is nothing wrong with it either. When shooting one-handed you primarily lose the ability to control the recoil effectively, so you have to wait for the sights to get back on target no matter what.

But as IVC said, this is not a hard and fast rule ultimately you should shoot the target order that makes the most sense. Same idea as "never leave a position on a steel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity acts on the gun in the same way regardless of which hand is holding it and what direction you're shooting. Shooting inwards makes sense because the recoil of the gun carries it in the direction of the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I would say ymhay is a scammer that reposts cut and pastes from other websites trying to look legit without actually understanding the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
