Joe Kidd

Post by **JEBar** » Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:08 am

while sitting here watching Joe Kidd on the Western Channel for the ump'th time, I realized that when it comes to hand guns, Clint shoots right handed ..

.. when firing a long range rifle of that era, he shoots left handed ..

.. somehow I find that to be fascinating ..

Interesting indeed...maybe he is truly ambidextrous?

Some interesting guns in that movie, for sure.

Film edit. Producers thought it looked better that way so they flipped the image horizontally.

A good friend of mine shoots exactly this way - right hand with pistol and lefty with rifle.

I am equally bad left or right.

I am the same way. I shoot rifles left handed per my left eyed dominance. I have shoot my pistols and revolvers cross-eyed due to being forced into the myth everybody is right handed. I also kick football lt footed and I shoot bows lt handed. I can't throw lt handed. I guess I'm just weird.
Just shoot straight no matter what handed you are.

I think there are more cross-eyed dominant people in the shooting community than some folks think. I'm one of them. I am left eye dominant, but right handed. Fortunately, I never got pushed into shooting right or left handed and just did what came, naturally to me. I shoot a rifle right-handed and am very comfortable using my right eye, my non-dominant eye. For pistol shooting, I can switch back and forth between using my right and my left eye. Even weirder, when I first started shooting a bow, I never even knew I was shooting a bow left-handed until someone else pointed it out to me. Shooting a bow right-handed just felt awkward and uncomfortable. Still does. In short, I've always been kind of a hodgepodge of doing things right and left handed.

Sure wish I had that talent. As the years continue to pass, I may HAVE to adjust.

Speaking of Clint, if you have not seen The Mule check it out. I read that it is doing very well, and he is still one of Hollywood's biggest box office draws....not bad for 88 years old!
