I shot a deer this afternoon and was explaining to my buddy that it was on my right hard right, so I have always just shot left handed when that happens, at least 10 deer kills that way. He thought I was joking or full of it, is it that hard to believe that people can shoot from both hands?

Nope. That’s what I do. Take a practice shot or two that way also.

I killed one last year like that. I didn't have time to adjust so I just switched hands...

I’m amphibious. I can dribble to my left or right.
I’m left handed, but play golf right handed.
I can hit a baseball from either side. I shoot a rifle left handed , but all my guns are right handed. I am just about blind in my right eye , but I have killed a few deer and coyotes right handed with a scope. All were close shots though.
I’ve had to let many turkey walk that got by too far to my left. No way I could shoot one with my bad eye.

I've done it multiple times, with good results.
Love a good hunting story, love my family and friends. Some people you can't, but acted like do.

I’m a lefty but can and have shot right handed. It’s not nearly as comfortable for me but I can do it with relative accuracy

I am a natural right hand shooter, but have killed many, many deer shooting left handed (with a scope).
I may be wrong, but I believe I have made better shots left handed - because I am more careful and patient. It’s not a natural shot for me left handed and I have to really focus on the eye relief.

I too am a lefty, but I bat right handed but use right handed guns. In my KILLZONE blind chair, it is a full enclosure small dome fold-out chair blind, so opposite handed shots will be required. So now I have an aim rest for that (a guitar stand- that's right) so I won't miss anymore with a wobbling aim. Also I have a Turkey Lounger chair that limits shot directions, so cross shooting is demand sometimes on a frozen gobbler off to the wrong side. It would be nice to have something that allows one to turn around, like a chair that spins (light weight and portable- easy to use).
