Seriously thinking about switching from left to right shoulder
I am 28 years old, been shooting since I was a kid. I always used my pops rifles and shotguns. But I am a lefty so I fired from my left shoulder. . I have passed all the tests to hunt/get a license here, among them the Bear-test which is both time and accuracy based. But it is not smooth, I want it smoother. I have been hunting pigs mostly and roedeer and I have not had to use a second fast shot yet but it almost feels unethical that I am not as fast as I should be. and I have stayed away from certain kinds of hunting.
I am left handed of course but I play golf and baseball like a righty, I am left eye dominant but it is not by much and the kicker is that my vision is better in my right eye (my glasses have different lens strength
It is such a hassle finding guns, new ones costs too much, it stings because there are tons of good to great bolts out there for cheap.
Only have 2 guns at the moment a rem1100 and I am not to bothered by the ejecting shells but don't care much for the maintenance, it only likes strong loads etc etc, I am assuming a rifle semi auto would bother me more with the ejecting. and I figure it is somewhat of a safety issue aswell, if gasses escape or something goes wrong my face is in the danger zone?
Shotguns (SbS/OU) always have right handed buttstocks
Double rifles are intresting but c'mon I am a humble teacher
How would a lever work? it doesn't eject as hard as a semi auto right? And with a lever in a bigger calibre I am bound to a 45-70 right? no commercial ones in 30-06 or .308? (We have different calibre requirments for different game)
I thought I found the answer with a rem7600 but just loaned one and ran into problems(http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5071673)
Would the switch over to the right shoulder be too hard? Anybody done it? I guess practise makes perfect but is it really feasible? Can I ever get the accuracy by shooting my non dominant eye?
