to shoot left handed. I keep having deer come up too far to the right to get turned for a shot. Standing up to turn around will get me busted for sure so I must adapt. Missed an opportunity for my first buck today because I am severely right handed. \:\(

I agree with 45 but I would learn at the range and not get tempted in the field.
That could turn out really bad...

I hope. A doe would make me very happy, too. \:\)
If I could have gotten him to stop when he went up the hill, I may have been able to get him. I would have had to shoot behind the ribcage because of the angle but he had somewhere to be and didn't change pace or even move his ears when I 'meeped' at him.

Maybe Saturday. \:\)

Had a few come in from behind me and travel my right side this morning. They were only twenty yards so I felt comfortable about taking the shot if need be. But it was just a few doe

I'm with you in this same problem. Severely right handed. Definitely practice at the range. You can dry fire at home to get a feel. Biggest thing is to focus on the fundamentals. Good shooting is good shooting and relies on the basics no matter the side or position.

After you do it a time or two it becomes just as natural as shooting right.... I remember my first left handed deer like it was yesterday. I could probably take you right to the tree I was in.


I'm severely dependent on my right hand

Start off with your 22 at the range assuming it is scoped. I can assure you scope eye will be on your agenda if you are not careful. I am also a terrible right hand shooter and going lefty is near impossible, mostly because I flinch like mad. Best of luck.
