you get used to it and learn to compensate.   i'm still not that great of a shot with my Garand but it's easier to compensate on an AR15 or AR10

I do that with a bow and arrow. I'm cross-eye dominant (right handed, left eye dominant), and that can be an issue for some things. Too bad I am not a major league pitcher where it comes in handy. 

I am also left brain dominant.

learn to shoot with iron sights first, then move on to optics

 

and laser sights are not an option on an M1 garand or a snubby. 

 

I already know how to shoot with iron sites and with a scope. I rarely shoot and do not have laser sites. I was half joking. My experience with lasers is with measurement devices which suck in bright sunlight but are fine in the shade. My hands are as steady as can be but measure something from 50-60 feet and see how that little dot bounces around. I'm sure that a two hand grip would improve that but nothing is a panacea to practice and proper form.

more fun when the folks don't bother to figure out you are left-handed until you are 7 or so and already acclimated to right for many things

 

in high school they demanded i high jump but my plant foot was the left and i couldn't work out an approach from the right, but it felt better to drive to the right in hoops (with decent left side competence, able to dunk with each hand)

Repeating because this is probably my favorite tweet ever. Who knew it was just a sign of things to come?
 

 

 

 

I'm surprised CNN didn't have an eight-person panel to discuss if Trump really won that golf award behind.

 

Did Trump cheat to get that trophy? Join us for a very special two-hour Reliable Sources investigation!

I'm guessing Alyssa Milano will jump on this feminist cause immediately.

Pakistani girls trafficked to China in new "bride market"

GUJRANWALA, Pakistan (AP) — Muqadas Ashraf was just 16 when her parents married her off to a Chinese man who had come to Pakistan looking for a bride. Less than five months later, Muqadas is back in her home country, pregnant and seeking a divorce from a husband she says was abusive.

She is one of hundreds of poor Christian girls who have been trafficked to China in a market for brides that has swiftly grown in Pakistan since late last year, activists say. Brokers are aggressively seeking out girls for Chinese men, sometimes even cruising outside churches to ask for potential brides. They are being helped by Christian clerics paid to target impoverished parents in their congregation with promises of wealth in exchange for their daughters.

Thought I would re-post this here.  If we do actually get into impeachment it might be interesting to see how the backpedaling from today's Repubs follows the Dems actions from the Clinton impeachment in the 90's.  Obviously the details are different but if we go down the path there will be similarities I would guess too.

 

The other day I found a 1999 email I wrote to a friend expressing frustration with the Dems and their constant backpedaling with respect to Bill Clinton's impeachment.  I recall too at that time my golf partner calling me the Raging Republican.  You may think I am now a Raging Democrat but I view myself as Independent and have voted for plenty of Dems and Repubs and will likely continue that pattern.  I wouldn't want anyone convicted of non-existent crimes but I also don't think we should ignore misdeeds just because of our party affiliation.  I think we citizens should be more like jurors and less like the lawyers I see around here.   Here is the 99 email:

 

>     I think I'm finally starting to put together some clues on this ...
>
>     Many Clinton supporters view all of the Republicans as the Religious
> Right Wing, therefor the enemy.  They feel that for many years the
> Religious Right has been trying to take away more and more personal

> their personal lives.  That feeling is at the root of this Clinton
> support.  They see Ken Starr as one who has pried into the President's
> personal life.  They feel that the Republicans (aka Christian Coalition)
> now are trying to throw him out of office because of 'immoral behavior in

>     3.     He lied about sex, so what, everybody lies about sex.  Who
