I spent last fri - sun at a carbine class. (Costa) It was the level 1 basic carbine. During the barricade drills we were shooting from a number of improvised kneeling and urban prone positions. There were a few spots where folks were really contorting themselves to shoot from the left side of a barrier. When it was my turn to shoot, I transitioned to my left shoulder and shot the left side. ...weak hand / non dominant shooting was not covered in the class. When I mentioned to other students that I had shot with my off hand they looked at me like I was crazy.
So, when I was 8 my granpa taught me to shoot. He was a lefty and I learned to shoot lefty despite being right handed. When I was 10 my dad took me shooting for the first time. Dad shot right handed despite being left handed due to his eye dominance. Dad got me squared away so to speak. So between the two of them, I learned to shoot using either eye / hand.
So are there any other ambidextrous shooters out there in TFL land? Anyone who practices shooting from both weak hand / eye?
