I am trying to determine what is available for High Power Silhouette Hunter Class that left hand users have found to be successful.

Am considering a Remington Left Hand BDL 308.

Al,

I also shoot left handed as well. I have used Remington's in the past but they have been righties. I use a Nesika now. I sure like the smoothness of the bolt when you cam it over to lock the case in. But Remington will work just fine. But I would get a 260 rem over the 308. They really seem to work good. As for the stock, the Remington doesn't fit me. Comb isn't high enough and its just a piece of crap. I have designed a couple of stocks that i use now. They seem to work just fine for me. That is the problem with left handers their is not a good selection of stocks out their. Thats why I decided to make my own. That way you get what you want. If you need any more info just email me. Always willing to help a fellow shooter. sdwooster@msn.com

I think we should just change the rules and prohibit you sinister types from shooting the game.
You're always on the wrong side of the shooting stands and you contantly get in the way of those of us who do it 'right'!
Why last year in PeEll, before the match, I remember having to watch swooster like a hawk when we were working on the berms -- he kept shovelling from the wrong side!
Nothing good can come from allowing this much diversity into the sport! :-D

Erney,

Wait until next year. I will have a few new suprises for you. And all these years i thought you guys ( right handers) where all wrong. I have been thinking on having only left hand benches for sighting in. And charging more money to righties because of all the work of moving the stands to the proper places. Maybe we will start shooting left to right as well. See you next year. :twisted:

Many ranges already have benches that are made for both right and left hand shooters. As a lefty I applaud this trend.

At some ranges when a lefty has to shoot from a specified position they end up up being right next to or just about in back of a post or range sign. Not wanting to assert an inherent right of a lefty to be treated on equal footing most of us just adapt and figure that if we can shoot better than most righties even with our handicap then so be it.

Question do natural lefties come predominantly from blue or red states?

As always from one always in the right lefty to another lefty, stick with it and we will win in the end.
