Off hand shooting

[GGB]

I’m right handed. But over the last 2 years my right elbow/arm has given out. The pain is enough that I can’t hold a phone to my head for more than a few minutes. I have never been good with my left hand. Any drills or help would be appreciated

Every range trip I make a point to shoot at least 10 rounds one handed with my strong and weak side.

Do you have a diagnosed reason why your elbow is so painful? Brace or physical therapy to help with the problem?

Practice, practice, practice with your left hand. Practice over and over and over. The actual drills you use for that practice are not as important as how often you practice in order to build muscle memory and accuracy.

Besides, what would you do if a car wreck resulted in your losing your entire right arm? You would have no other choice but to practice with your left.

It may take some time but you can get there.

Depending on where you're located, you might want to check IDPA. Most "matches" have multiple stages and many have you shoot off handed. But, as stated, practice practice practice. If I could shoot is off handed, I'd be dry firing with my left hand like crazy, and then get some range time with an instructor or a good mentor.

What type of gun are you carrying? Just curious.
