    Left or right ?

    Following up on the thread regarding a Prosport, are you a left or right handed shooter ?

    The real question should be are you right or left eyed.

    I’m right handed with a dominant left eye, so have always shot left handed. Can shoot rifles right handed but it doesn’t feel as natural. I shoot pistols right handed.

    Same here, I just can't shoot a rifle right handed it feels unnatural yet I'm right handed when it comes to pistol shooting and writing. Cack handed as my dad would say.
    Sometimes I sits and thinks, but mostly I just sits.

    Same here too! It should feel wierd, using different hands when shooting rifles/pistols but doesn't- odd isn't it?

    ''Tis odd indeed, the only good thing to come out of it is when I used to box I could switch between orthodox and southpaw, I had fun with that!

    I predict that pretty soon, a picture of a really smashing left handed Prosport will appear on this Thread !
