Training with weak hand

Featured Replies

I broke my thumb on my right hand (I am right handed), but don't want to stop training for 6-12 weeks. I thought about doing pistol training with my left hand. (I am right eye dominant.). I think that is the easy/easier part. I also want to continue trap shooting if I can. I don't know if that is possible/realistic. I have pump action shotguns. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

I don't see why it wouldnt be realistic as long as you put in the time. How is your dexterity with your left hand? If not good I've used a hand strengthener like this for guitar and shooting dexterity. You can strengthen the whole hand or focus on the consistent pull of your trigger finger.

Pretty cheap and can double as stress relief too.

 

I found out that I'm very comfortable shooting long guns support side because I'm cross eye dominant. This may not be the case with you but with practice I don't see why it cannot be done.

Thanks for the input. And, Maksim, maybe we only need one thumb, not for shooting, but for loading ammo.

You'd be surprised how much you use that thumb...
