Granted I don't dryfire and dryslash as much as I should, I was doing some chopstabby tonight with my weak (left) paw for a change. I'm not strong to begin with, but was surprised how quickly my left shoulder got tired.

What percentage of the time, if at all, do you dryfire and dryslash (is there a proper term for practicing with your blade??) with your weak paw?
 
once in a while i'll dry fire with my left hand. But when i dry fire I switch up between my right eye and left eye so I can do both. I dont' know what advantage that has but I just do it because it feels like I should. It helps to make the weak arm stronger though, so maybe you should practice as much dry-slashing with the left arm.
 
Hey Nippy, are you switching between eyes with both eyes open? If you are that's pretty darn impressive. If not, I suggest working more with your dominate eye and working to keep that other eye open. Shooting with both eyes open and still getting quick sight alignment really comes tough for people.

As far as triaining with the other hand skunk, it's not a bad idea to practice your offhand draw, it can be tricky-and might make you rethink your carry style.

No im not switching with both eyes open :D If I tried that I think that would make me dizzy. I basically shoot
1)Left eye closed Right eye open
2)Right eye close Left eye open
3)Both eyes open

I would stick with 1) for matches and stuff but I do 2) and 3) just for kicks.

thanks for the input
 
Jeff, I believe what they are referring to is, in simplistic terms, um, well, I guess pretending to stab and hack things with their pocket knives. :)

The "dry" part, I suppose, was borrowed from "dry"-firing. So obviously they don't have their stickers loaded while they are doing this.
