How many people here shoot left-handed

#1 Post by Sixshot6 »

Just a slight unscientific survey, but I'm a lefty and curious to know how many on this forum are lefty shooters?

When I did the squadding for the Imperial TR events it was about 8% left handed (about 1200 competitors)

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

All I know is that its a pita when you have a course of fire that compromises you and if you have the audacity to complain the response is 'well its your fault being a freak'.

A bit p*** off with all that if I'm honest.

Try Scott Rodgers from CCA, he is right handed, his wife is left-handed. His twin daughters are left-handed for one and the other is right-handed so that is partly where he got the idea for MARS system from. Obviously Gene's do play a role after all.
