I tried shooting Backwards and the recoil (lift) went Forwards!
You were standing at the front of the gun??

Doesn't everyone shoot that way?

First time I saw a handgun sideways was in old Glen Ford westerns. He likely only did this in movies, as among his credentials was being a serious student of drawing and shooting.
Left vs Right rifling also moves the firearm differently.
does anyone have a left-handed twist rifle/pistol? i think it can be about twist direction. right spins up and left will spin down............think about it! like playing pool...no english is straight forward, right makes it go right and left goes left

it doesn't work that way. But if there's a way to put English on bullets we are all in for it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that T/C barrels are left hand rifling. When you shoot them,they twist clockwise.

Not sure about the "English" analogy, but yes I have a left hand twist barrel, and it moves differently in recoil. Mild cartridges rotation may be countered, but in more recoiling set ups you'll definitely feel a difference.
