Weak Hand Shooting: Tips to Improve Support Hand Skills
The biggest reason to learn how to shoot weak-handed is in case
you are ever forced into a situation where your strong hand is injured beyond the point of use.
Considering violent events, it’s very much in the realm of possibility that your dominant hand could become compromised.
It’s the hand you don’t use for fine motor tasks. Basically, the one that gets neglected when you write, catch a ball, or grab an apple from the office snack bar.
Why is weak-hand shooting a skill you should learn and how do you even shoot with your non-dominant hand?
When thrown into a violent confrontation you may need to use your hands to defend yourself until it’s safe to pull a gun. This may mean striking an opponent, which can also mean a broken hand.
Firing a firearm safely and accurately with a broken hand is challenging to say the least.
You could also be involved in a gunfight where your arm or hand becomes injured by gunfire.
If your dominant hand gets hurt, it’s critical you stay in the fight. So, you need to be a skilled weak hand shooter to improve your chances of survival.
Of course, you want to stop the threat. But if you suck at weak hand shooting, you will likely miss, and if you miss that bullet still has to go somewhere.
Remember, you are held responsible for every round you fire.
Having the ability to use both hands is part of the responsibility of knowing how to use your firearm(s) safely and responsibly.

You cook pretty hard.
When I first learned to use chopsticks I forced myself to learn with the weak hand, just for fun -- to show off later --- look what I can do..
Now I am chopstick ambidextrous.
I also did that somewhat with tennis.
Chopstick ambidextrous looks great on a resume. 😁 Also a great name for a band.
Need to copyright it before it becomes a gender.
Fancy word ambidextrous...what you really meant you’re bi...

Place your dominant hand over your chest in the center, as you aim with your support hand down range. It helps with stability. ;)

I thought maybe this was for Grosskreutz's 9th felonious possession.
