Are you asking if I can shoot reasonably well weak side past 100 yards? Yeah, if I practice a little first.

I used to shoot weak side approx. 40% of the time when I used to shoot a lot.
 
Thanks for the kind words about my shooting skills, but I shoot with some real marksmen at my range where I'm considered a little better than "fair".
 
My intent with this thread is to ask if any one else regularly practices weak hand shooting. Most people I know don't unless their military or LE of some sort.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

In all honesty, I NEVER shoot left-handed.  It just feels so...wrong.  I'm sure there's a long term benefit to learning to be competent with weak hand shooting, but it messes with my noggin too much.
 
Mark, it looks to me like you're doing just fine on either side of the rifle, my friend, but your port side groups definitely trump those from the starboard side.  Learn to use the Force.  Reject the Dark Side and come over to THE LIGHT.  Step right in; the water's warm.

My life would sure be easier if I just "went along with the crowd"  but then I wouldn't be a martyr like I am now, would I? Wink

mark, i guess what im getting at is if need be could you shoot a deer at say 250yds with your "weak" hand as you call it, either your one hell of a marksman or your black betty is one hell of a shooter or maybe its both??

It's the rifle and the hand loads.
 
A friend shot her the other day for the first time and drilled a better group than my "strong hand" pic above.
He wanted her right then and there.
Of course I told him to go f.....I mean I politely declined his gracious offer.  Wink

You've always impressed me as one of the most polite, diplomatic motherf***ers I've ever known.

Somebody call Jim Scoutin at Shooting USA. If he puts her on Byran Ferguson will be out of a job!
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

That is some very good shooting, from both sides.
I shoot weak side with a roscoe all the time, never with a scatter gun or rifle.
