Have you Noticed that Clint Eastwood

[Marshall 357]

shoots rifles left and right handed in his movies?

 

[scooter123]

Call me a sceptic if you wish but I suspect that the reason for this is all about camera angles and seeing Clints face in the shot.

 

[Chief RID]

I would suspect it is for authenticity.

 

[LVSteve]

I thought it was all down to how the cinema tech threaded the film for that reel.

Ol'Clint can also shoot 7 bad guys with his six shooter and put a bullet in each hombre.

When your're watching grass tramplers, you hafta look good when you grimmace through clenched teeth "Get off my lawn!" while holding your M-1 Garand. Angle is everything.

Bullseye

I've noticed he shoots a rifle and handgun right handed, but throws left handed. I throw a baseball right handed and bat left handed. Plus, kick with my left foot. I shoot from the right side. Not uncommon. He's ambidextrous.

 

[DeadAye]

Clint should get the muzzle on that rifle checked. A good smith can recrown it like new.

 

[The Highlander]

I can do that too, I'm equally as bad with either side! That's why I quit deer hunting, I got tired of the dang things laughing at my marksmanship abilities.

A co-worker has a rather famous technique for Deer Hunting. You know he's going to shoot when you hear the knocking, as in knock knock knock knock Bang. The knocking is his barrel hitting the window ledge in the blind. To his credit, no foul shots or misses, he wait's until they get real close, according to his BIL he took one buck at 20 feet and it had it's head cocked staring the source of that funny knocking sound.

clints 80+ he might not can remember if hes right or left handed?

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

I'm wondering where all those left handed 7MM Mausers the Spanish troops used in the movie "Rough Riders" went? Again, the film flipped either in error-or for visual impact.

That is a Hollywood BFA, they paid extra for that.

It's much easier do in Hollywood where he never has to shoot anything with real bullets....

 

[USAF385]

I'm surprised more don't shoot rifles either handed.

What if the deer comes from your right side and you're a righty?

Bullseye

Somehow I'm just not that intimidating when I am chasing cats off my lawn with my Daisy Red Ryder.

 

[John Eilertson]

Seems to me I read once that he was born a lefty, but was forced to "convert" to being a righty when in grade school. It was a loooooong time ago. I saw a pic of him as about a 10 year-old, aiming a rifle lefty. In his older years I'm guessing he was basically ambidextrous. Better make that "IS."

At 100 yards from the back of a galloping horse...

They are not documentaries.

Lord knows that's true ...
