    Being a lefty I have learned the hard way to always wear a hat and hood if shooting indoors. Bald head with burns from shell casings.

    Lefty here, have yet to own any lefty rifles though. Shooting a TTC proves to be a pain as I unintentionally hit the mag release after every shot :lol2:

    Another lefty here. Play guitar and golf righty, but left eye dominant and I shoot lefty.

    I try to buy handguns that are ambidextrous, and my ARs have ambi controls, but casing ejection hasn't been a problem.

    My M1 Carbine does tend to plunk me in the noggin and my garland clips tend to land on the top of my head, but a baseball hat solves that problem…

    Lefty and the only one of 7 siblings. Yes, I am special alright. I only play golf right-handed.
    I own one left handed bolt action, all the rest of my guns are righty. Never a problem handling them or with ejection.

    Lefty here, I shoot left handed though my AR is pretty ambidextrous at this point. Definitely need the the hat, I've seen the burns in other places I don't need that on my bald head. I'm trying to learn right handed but I just can't focus my right eye without manually closing my left eye. I do play hockey and guitar right handed.

    I'm looking to get a bolt action rifle one day and I just can't decide if I should enjoy a totally left handed rifle or if I should treat it like a computer and use my mouse right handed so I can use every one else's.

    I'm a lefty. I shoot long guns left handed and handguns right handed (strange I know). I had an instructor tell me that wasn't the first time he saw that though and it made me feel a little better lol

    Oddly enough I am extremely accurate with left hand, and I never practice it. I need to start practicing to make it better!

    Hardcore lefty here. All my bolt-action rifles are right-handed. I've got left-handed Stags. My other semi-auto rifles are right-handed. Everything gets shot left-handed. Starting to practice shooting right-handed as of late. Not difficult for me, maybe because I've always batted right-handed for baseball. I suck at batting left-handed.

    I shoot offended, that is what they heard when I said I was left handed. Given the state legislature, I suspect we all shoot offended.

    I'm left eye only so I've learned to shoot only lefty with long guns. Handguns I can shoot with either. I have a lefty savage mkII and AR but really prefer most of my right handed guns with ambi controls.
