Left Handed Bolt Action Operation

[@billiebleach7889]

Everybody is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it. 💪🏼

Maybe you're right. (Haha get it ri- oh nevermind)

[@cheesecake8620]

Yeah you're not special because you are left handed

" This is one of the most useful and instructive video's I've seen on this very subject .. I've always had that difficulty my self when serving in the forces many a time ago! ..pistols not a real problem if any? ..but submachine-gun yes due to situation of extraction-port for empties!!

I'm righthanded, however left eye dominant and also shoot lefthanded. About 10 years ago I suffered a left eye injury directly prior to deer season. I went to a local outdoor gun range and shot a few boxes of ammo, righthanded out of a Winchester bolt action 30:06. At first, I did horribly, however, by the end, I was shooting confidently enough to finish the deer season out shooting righthanded., and actually harvested a few deer. Fortunately, my left eye healed, and now I comfortably shoot both righthanded and lefthanded accurately. I also have worked with my two young boys shooting from both sides, which I feel is a great skill to learn, cause you never know what situation you may run into to use such a skill.

I'm mixed handed. Not quite ambidextrous. I write left handed but play guitar right handed. I shoot handguns right handed but I managed to teach myself to shoot left handed. I've always shot rifles left handed but I've practiced a lot shooting them right handed. For me when shooting a bolt action rifle left handed I've always reached over the stock and operated the bolt with my left hand when prone or at a shooting table. If kneeling, sitting or standing I support the weapon with my left elbow while pointing it at an angle downward and slide my right hand up to operate the bolt with my palm facing my left shoulder for maximum leverage in the upward rearward motion. Then I raise the rifle's weight up as I rack it back forward in a pulling motion. So instead of pushing the round into battery, I'm pulling it into battery. Hope this makes a little bit of sense and gives some insight into the confusing world of mixed-handedness.

[@shazarad4127]

Ive done that before too, pulling the bolt forward rather than push, but I find it tires out my arm a lot faster especially with some of the harder to operate milsurps Straight pulls it works wonderfully on

Thank you

[@moon-cyclist4565]

When it comes to guns, both right and left handed feel natural. I can't write right handed or do a few other complicated precision tasks right handed but most everything else I can do right handed. I even play guitar righty but can't do it lefty

[@jasonrid-d5k]

This video is what I wanna find out! Many thanks!

[@ChronicAndIronic]

I’m also a left eyed, therefore a left hand shooter. Right hand EVERYTHING else, including pistols. Which is useful for baseball but not shooting

[@MooreReviewz]

Great video brother

[@nicolassmith7207]

Awesome

[@kevinpuerto7715]

Not to be offensive, but Ian also said that bolt actions were obsolete

[@b.santos8804]

Yes, and so is an atlatl, but I don't think you'd want to catch an arrow from one.

[@communismisadisease4498]

For the battlefield sure. For sports and civilian use? No.

[@applejuice782]

We're just going to ignore the fact that snipers still use bolt actions?
