Do not mind Jean-Pierre Amat, he may have been a “champion of the world” twenty years ago but he remains a staunch gun grabber and a fierce opponent of your 2nd Amendment.

Pauvre blaireau d’Amat… tu es bien resté le même boulet depuis que tu nous as tous trahis.

The F Open World Champion also shoots left handed rifles right handed.

But frankly, this is a insane concept! I am a former champion of the world and I can insure you that nobody cans win a competition in changing the hands and the eyes with the ones of the opposite side.

EDITOR: Jean — the shooter still uses his dominant hand for pulling the trigger. He is simply using the other hand to work the bolt. We explain this only works when shooting from a front rest or bipod that supports the rifle. You are correct that this method does not work when shooting standing or kneeling without a front support.

Different methods for different disciplines. Derek Rodgers is also a World Champion (in F-TR). He shoots right-handed and works the left-side bolt with his left hand. Yes it works!

As someone who started shooting left, handed with a penchant for collecting and using old military rifles, this is something I have been familiar with for quite a while. Even after I re-learned shooting right hand, I miss the economy and ergonomics of being able to work the bolt with my offhand from a rest.

The problem with this is if we left dominant/left handed shooters opt for a right handed rifle it’s a waste of a perfectly good cheek rest.

I had two nice left handed rifles, a Remington 700bdl and a Winchester 70 Featherweight both in 7mm Rem Mag. Today unless you settle for super duper ultra short mags, there aren’t a lot of options for lefties.

I can’t wait until this catches on so the major manufacturers will start putting the good stuff on the LH rifles. Right now, we don’t get stainless steel or fancy, optioned stocks. We get carbon steel and plain-Jane stocks. My left-eye dominance doesn’t mean that I don’t like nickel in my steel or that I can’t make use of an adjustable stock.

Many of us started shooting using this technique a while ago (1988) when Anschutz brought out the EXEMPLAR SILHOUETTE LEFT HAND hand gun. Then Savage released their handgun with the same concept. It isn’t hard to understand the positive aspects of this combination left bolt/left port.
