I have never been there but I will say they will take all the time to teach & show you that it takes for you to learn.

for a long time i followed what most people did - and what some people advise - when shooting offhand, and that is to cant the gun inward just a bit. some people say they feel comfortable doing it this way, however i was never very accurate shooting this way. i found that if i held the gun strait up and down (like its supposed to be) i was 100% more accurate, but it was not comfortable. i'll take accuracy over comfort anyday.
I never heard it said that off hand should be canted inward. Glad I have not read much. :lol: +100 on the accuracy over comfort. :iagree:

This could be a very good training time. I don't want the surgery but what you are doing is times upon times better than staying home whinning because I can't go shoot. This could be the "most improved" area of your PD training in many yrs. Get well soon & use the time as wisely as you are.

I confess that I may not be "average" here as I am in most other cases. From a child I was taught to use both hands rather than favor one. Using tools or writing or anything in between. Eyesite has been exceptional & my right eye does not really DOMINATE like most other folks experience & especially those who struggle with the strong hand & weak eye dominance problem. What works keep practicing.

I want to see the weak hand draw.

Good practice prop. My practice is right hand = right eye. Left hand = left eye. That is for everyone. Takes a long time but continual practice will make for 2 strong sides. Getting closer but not there yet.
