Default Weak side shooting practice

I guess I'll be getting in some weak side practice for a few weeks. I had carpal-tunnel surgery on my left hand about ten weeks ago. I think I am definitely slowly getting some feeling back in my fingers. Friday, I'll have the surgery on my right hand. Hopefully, I'll regain some of the feeling in those fingers, too. If you suspect you have this problem, don't put off having it seen about. I wish I had done something two years ago when I first started having the symptoms.

Anyhow, I have never gotten serious about practicing with my left hand. I'll certainly have that opportunity now.

Hang in there Red, and Good Luck!
One day R/A may turn me into a 3 toed sloth too. I sure hope they can come up with a surgery for it?

I dont practice a lot with the off hand, but I think I can shoot better with it, seperated right shoulder many years ago, and pretty shakey still with it. Two handed is 99% of my shooting

I feel you.

Just had a bicep reattached on my right (strong side) due to an accidental fall. Also broke bones in my elbow and wrist as a result of the accident.

I have, in the past, done some shooting with my left. It'll be fun to do so again.

Good thing I keep a couple of LH holsters around.

G'luck with your recovery.
