    And another reason to practice off hand.

    Wanting to remember this thread.

    I used to compete locally with a guy who was forced by some type of injury to switch hands. Didn't know him well enough to ask details but he said it took him a year to get back to roughly the same performance level. Based on that I think switching to the middle finger would be a lot easier.

    The goofy stuff that comes from that guy just never quits.

    One southpaw here injured his left elbow. He could still shoot lefthanded but it was painful after a few rounds.
    So he changed sides. But when the match CoF called for a short string "weak handed" he was way ahead.

    Another shooter sustained an eye injury. Rather than just move the gun over two inches, he changed sides. The eye healed and he went back to where he started.

    Another is just being contrary, he is shooting lefthanded for the challenge.
