Your, uh...joke, good one.
Oh c'mon Manning, that joke got ya right between your eyes.....admit it...
As for how I hold my bottle when shooting left, I roll out to the left, pivoting on my hips with the bottle still stuck fast into my right shoulder, when I shoot out of the right hand side I am relying on a tight profile and reflexes to keep me in the game but when I shoot left, because my profile is not so tight (obviously) I then tend to rely more on reflexes and timing.
Sometimes I do put the bottle on my left shoulder, probably about 50% of the time, but I never shoot left handed.
The angle I am shooting at determines whether it is a 'right' shoulder or 'left' shouldder shot.
Basically it's a trade off, 'yes', I could probably get a tighter profile if I practiced shooting left handed but I tended to sacrifice accuracy.
Now when I shoot right handed out of the left hand side of the bunker, I am just as accurate as when I shoot out of the right and for me this is the lesser of evils.
As I said before, the way I play is probably not the best for most people to emulate but it is important for me to identify what is the best way to play rather than teach what I may or may not do.
