Very observant!
He is right hand dominant and left eye dominant. Shot right handed for years before really realizing it.
He bought a left handed gun some years to hopefully make learning to shoot left handed a little easier. Hadn’t worked all that well for him honestly. He’ll start off the afternoon shooting left handed and then an hour later he’ll be shooting right handed without his glasses on.
I also was “shooting” right handed in the original picture, I now shoot left handed but still use a right handed gun
Making the switch is a total commitment.
You can't go into it half ass.
Being left eye dominant and being raised to shoot righty, I made them switch about five years ago since I was coaching kids for clay target shooting.
I've been 99% lefty ever since but every once in a while shoot a few birds righty.
Last year in Canada, I had to shoot righty.... Today, I shot my last four birds righty because I was shooting poorly lefty.
It's pretty cool at 52 yo being able to switch shoot....

Jacob shoots with us. He is very lucky, it could have been worse.

Probably a snake some sanctimonious nature boy let go
Take a stick of chapstick, put a smear on the left eye side of his glasses. No bigger than a 1/4” right over his pupil when he has the gun mounted. Put a smear just enough to occlude the dominance of his left eye, but at the same time will not eliminate his depth perception. He’ll be a brand new man.
I’m too set in my ways to make a switch to lefty. When I shoot competition, I still have a small sliver of tape just barely occluding my left eye to switch dominance to my right eye but not lose depth perception. When hunting I don’t wear glasses, just squint my left eye enough to blur it right before the shot. It works.
Heck of a rock and hope he gonna be good to go!
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
Hope that guy is gonna be ok, damn. 5/50? Yikes. Isn't funny or cool. Practice or some shot choices, or both.

^^^ the answer to Jimmy's problem is more corn and ground swatting.
That's how we been doing it for years. Gotta adapt or go hungry.

No ground swatting on a public field!
I was happy to have an opportunity to shoot so many shells and I had a great time doing it. Dove opener is to have fun and I surely did.
My prior 3 seasons in SC I shot maybe 10 times. Fields were a total bust.
Next year if I find a field as loaded as this one was, I'll shoot clays beforehand.
Yall keep the circle jerk going of poking fun at my wing shooting. I'm gonna go scout a few deer spots, check a camera, and shoot some arrows in this awful heat. 11 more days until a doe gets an arrow.

Shot a limit on Saturday and a preset 12 limit on Sunday. My 10 year old killed his first. A couple off the line and a couple in flight. Great weekend.

If you give 10 people a bag of gold, someone will complain about how heavy it is!
Dmatheny - great photos!! Props for getting your Son off to a great start. He will remember those days for the rest of his life.
F**K Cancer
Just Damn.
Way to get them started! Great stuff!

Colt & I brought home 6 a piece, today. They just weren't moving like Saturday; he did have an ant pile claim 1, and lost another. And, a large field with fewer people didn't help matters any...
I'm happy to say that I killed more than I missed; he, on the other hand, can't truthfully say the same.
