I haven't shot a longgun for some time; what with the external jaw fitment and the previous surgeries it has been quite long. I can't get a rifle close enough to the right side of my face with the fitment sticking out there in the air. This past weekend I tried shooting left handed and left eyed. No way it seems right to me, not to mention dang awkward. But I found not too much difficulty after putting my mind to it. It even seemed easier shooting left handed with both eyes open and using a scope than shooting right handed and trying to keep both eyes open. I'm right eye dominant and shooting right handed with both eyes open was always a problem.

So, yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.  ;D   I even hit the target gong.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

 Very good Don!

There is almost always a way. It does get interesting sometimes though.

So far I've been lucky. My left side is completely numb so I can't shoot weak hand anymore, but my right is still about 90% OK.
These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here!

It saddens me to hear of that development peter. All my best wishes to you.
