Shooting Comfortably

[CockerTrixs2K3]

I know that shooting both left and right handed is good shooting technique, but what if you just switch shoulders instead of switching hands? I can shoot both left and right handed even though I am naturally left handed but sometimes just switching shoulders is more comfortable than switching hands.

Switching your shoulders is the cheap and easy way of opposite-hand shooting, however, you wont be able to shoot straight ahead very easily, and you'll have to make yourself a bigger target to do so. I used to do that, but I started practicing switching hands, and after about 3 weeks im getting pretty good at it. Yes, you will waste some paint getting your aim right, but once you can do it properly, your snap shooting skills will just take off. Trust me, just deal with the akwardness that is holding it in the opposite hand. In fact, a good thing to do is when your sitting around doing nothing, just hold your marker in your other hand. You'll get more used to holding like that.
I've also found that ever since I've gotten better with using both hands, my dominant hand shooting skills have improved also.

I've been trying to get use to shooting with both hands. It is akward but I know it's the best way to shoot. But sometimes switching shoulders is a little quicker and easier since I'm not use to sahooting with both hands yet.

I see what you mean, but if you want to get good at using both hands, switch it up. even when its not comfortable or convinient. it helps you learn, alot.

I've started switching shoulders, about 4 months ago. Screw switching hands, this works good and its more comfy for me. And faster. I dont care if its "cheap" or whatever, its all good.
