Switch shooting?

Sitting here with my right arm out of commission and contemplating doing everything left handed for awhile got me to thinking back on the last couple years hunting out of scull and marsh boats. It's often impossible to twist around enough in those to shoot right handed (normal for me). So, instead of not taking any shot, I started trying left handed shots. Really sucked at it at first, but now I'm killing ducks on about 40% of the shots. Curious to see if anyone else is a switch shooter at times?

MB. You just said you shoot a gun and bow at the same time. Which one do you aim and which one do you miss with?

It seems like lots of girls have cross dominance problems. Is there any evidence behind this?

I've shot a shotgun lefty a few times just to see how it feels. Only thing is being right eye dominant I can't hit shit. But it actually feels more correct and I have better control swinging the gun. Maybe I can train my left eye.

For me, it is easier to shoot out of the drivers side window than the passenger side but I have done both.

Do it left handed, it'll feel like someone else is doing it for you.
