Shooting Cack Handed

I was shooting lefthanded today, fairly easy, easy to pull the trigger fast and this was on a cocker 
Try tilting your gun to the right about 30 degrees when shooting left handed and vice versa. It makes sight alignment better and gives a bit more of an instinctive point to it. I used to shoot a Shocker myself and by doing that I could shoot with both hands more effectively. You may also consider a different drop forward configuration, perhaps a little farther forward, that centers the weight a little more evenly to make it more ambidextrous.
as all the top pros are now saying there looking for people who can shoot both handed so its a good skill to learn. plus it can be an advantage to you if other people are always putting the marker on their left shoulder but shooting as if their were coming out the right.
but seriously just keep trying to snapshoot lefty. when practising just come out the left take one shot and do it again. This is only because i heard that to get something to be second nature you need to do it 8000 times its not that much when you think of the amount of paint the american pro back players shoot i heard someone was carrying 37 yes 37 pots in one game.
Keep practising

Cheers for the advice everyone. Hello Jamie, I was wondering when you'd catch up with me again. I suppose you don't have this problem as such, with having a warp feed and all. You can shoot that thing on it's side, upsidedown and any other position you fancy!
Are you down at Marchbrook in December, look like I'll be able to make that walk-on and I'm trying to get a few friends together to come too.

37? As in 37 140-shot pots? 5180 balls?
What did he have for air, a scuba tank? I'd heard that Bob Long carried out 18 (IIRC) against Russian Legion recently & I thought that that was a lot.
