Something I read today, got me to thinking about the weak hand, most of my range visits with handguns includes weak hand shootin.
Does anybody else practice weak hand shooting?
Years ago, I setup a simple IPSC style competition for a bunch of newbies (new to IPSC) where you stand behind a barrier and you have to engage a set of three targets, three shots each, twice (once from each side of the barrier), all shots fired with single hand hold of pistol. To make it Revolver friendly, I limited semi-auto's to 6 rounds per mag, making it mandatory for clip changes. Foot placement and barrier size made it mandatory that one side was right hand shooting and the other side was left hand shooting.
Everyone who participated, who hadn't every practiced weak hand hold shooting, had an eye opening experience.
