Nice to see there are plenty of left handers here. And, the target guides are very nice and appreciated.

I might have just signed up for the forums, but I have been lurking for a while. This is the the kind of thing that I appreciate. Thanks to Old School for posting the image, and to Dave for allowing his work to be posted.

I'm hoping (and am sure it will) that this will help me imporve my shooting.

Thanks again

Thanks Dave and Scott!!
how do you read this if your cross dominant? (shoot right with left eye).
I adjusted my front sight to compensate. but when a right- right person shoots my gun it shoots right of aim point. ( I think)
Will this effect my interpratation of this chart?

I am lefty and when shooting I'm falling into the "C" on the lefty target. I've asked around and no one and give me an answer as to what is meant by Thumbing. Can anyone give me an answer?

Thanks from another lefty!! Very, Very nice!

I second the sentiment that the community here is the reason I signed on.

- tnroadrunner-> I think thumbing refers to "pushing" the shot with one's thumb somehow. I'm basically inferring this from Dave's target... Try pointing your thumb towards the target, sort of like a nice (open-handed) grip on a bow except it's trickier without string tension pulling the grip into the webbing of your hand..Just try to use the lower three fingers more and free up your thumb and trigger finger for some improvement. I'm no expert, so this is to be taken with a grain of salt, corrections are welcome.

Another leftie here. I write left handed, but shoot right handed, right eye dominant. I'm just all mixed up. But, I've got 3 XD's!

This will be a great help to those of us that spend hours on the range teaching what we can to those that need/want our help. I will use this as a visual aid for the rest of my time in the Guard, thank you.
