[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 747070, member: 41338"] I've dealt with this. It's not as difficult as you might think. By this time next year you won't be able to pick up a rifle like a rightie. Take some long walks in the field and bring your rifle up as though you were going to shoot, about a bazillion times and it'll be as natural as before. Left hand skeet practice is good. Left hand archery practice is probably better. I'd just be true to trying to practice good form like loading your rifle and cycling the bolt from your shoulder, leftie. If both eyes are close in dominance, you may want to get in the habit of closing your right eye when you go to shoot. Funny changes in light can switch your least dominant eye to your most dominant eye and then your holding the rifle on the wrong side again. Also, lots of guys who shoot leftie use a right hand bolt. You can train yourself to get used to anything. [/QUOTE]
