Scenario:

You haven't practiced in 6 months, and little before that.

Rifle target at 50', perhaps 12' X16", 1" or so bulls eye, total black about 6-7".

18 rounds, your choice caliber & revolver.

Fire 3 rounds RH, single handed, DA

Fire 3 rounds RH, single handed, SA

Fire 3 rounds LH, single handed, DA

Fire 3 rounds LH, single handed, SA

Fire 6 rounds sitting, both hands, braced anyway you choose.

How many bulls eyes would you expect?

How many in the black? ;)

How many total on the paper? :what:

I would be in a world of hurt. Due to birth defects, I have to use both hands to shoot "well." I could probably manage the SA shooting LH and keep it on paper. LH DA shooting would be sheer luck if I hit paper. RH, my trigger finger can't even reach the trigger so I would be plain ol' outta luck.

Q

[Cosmoline]

Fifteen yards is my standard distance for the Speed Six. I can keep almost all of them in the 6" circle on moderate rate, modified weaver double action, with a flier from time to time that hits in the wider circle. Squatting and braced against the bench on single action I can manage about a 2" group at 15 yards.

I do very little single handed shooting with it, but I'll try some next time I'm out and see what the results are.

Wouldn't know, I never get rusty.

Bullets just seem to find their mark when I shoot. I have a guy who wants me to teach
him that trick, some guy named Chuck Norris??

Just thinking - putting yourself in a situation where only one hand is available to shoot with - whatever the reason. If I had the $$ and place to shoot, I would practice more -a number of variations - sitting, squatting, prone, either hand, etc. Never know when it might some in handy just to know your limitations.

I imagine that I would be able to shoot that course and score somewhere around or slightly above 80% if we use the scoring rings.

I used to shoot a lot of one handed bullseye competition (made NRA Collegiate Nationals in 2003), and I am pretty decent with a double action trigger. I also used to shoot with my left hand only quite a bit canting the weapon at a 45 degree angle to line up the sights with my right eye.

Shooting two handed supported I will punch the 10 ring out of that target at 50' more often than not as long as the sights are well regulated and the pistol is capable of good accuracy. So I figure I'd average about 90-95% for the 6 shots fired two handed supported, probably in the mid to low 80% range for the right hand only 6 shots, and in the low 60-70% range with my left hand.
