I had a gun dealer today try to tell me that I should teach my son (a right-hander with a dominant left eye, whom I've taught to shoot left-handed) to shoot a right-handed bolt rifle. He claims his buddy has done so for years and prefers it to shooting a left-handed gun. I'm away from my guns and can only imagine this, but it seems to me that it would be a clumsy process, require considerable strenth (supporting an 8-lb. gun with little leverage), and possibly dangerous (catching a bolt in the teeth). Thoughts? TT
