Yugopap4me 29 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Long story short...I've been shooting right handed for my whole life...but it turns out I'm actually a better leftie. Needless to say the AK is a great set up for lefties! Except...I have a right side folding stock that I need to get rid of..a pistol grip that doesn't feel right anymore...and a forearm that I need to customize. Is there anything that I'm forgetting? I'm literally a brand new leftie and don't know what I'm getting myself into Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SGL 530 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Is it eye dominance that prompted you to make the switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Correct. When I was much younger my instructor told me I was left eye dominant. I didn't listen to his instruction because It didn't feel natural shooting left at the time. Fast froward well over a decade plus a few years..and a good friend recently mentioned he noticed I might be left eye dominant. I decided to try shooting left, and this time it felt much more natural Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yugopap4me 29 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) We were shooting skeet at the time. But it was enough to convince me to change my rifles to left handed configuration without actually firing them. Dry firing my AK left was enough to convince me that my setup was all wrong Edited December 4, 2015 by Yugopap4me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna start using my left eye also. Vision in my right eye is getting worse with age. It will take some getting used to. Edited December 5, 2015 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
