2014 SHOT Show report

[smarandr]

Also, I am right handed but I shoot left handed. My left eye is dominate. I have heard, but I don't know if it true, that 10% of the population is left handed but nearly 20% of us shoot left handed. Anyone know if this is true?

Using the extremely small sample size of my hunting group (me, my father, and my brother-in-law) one of us is left handed, but two of us shoot left handed. So, as far as I'm concerned 66% of us shoot lefty

firstly, best wishes to Mrs Finn for a speedy recovery, second point has no validity except I find it hard to support a company like Nissan that shows the same awful commercial every break in what seems like every show on tv..

My brother and I are both lefty. Its very disappointing that a lot of companies flat out won't make lefty rifles. I understand, but it still bothers me.

In case anyone is reading this and looking for a lefty rifle, Tikka, Savage, and Browning all have a decent offering of left handed rifles. Big props to Benelli for making lefty semi-auto shotguns. I bought one.

And in honor of one of our Hunt Talkers, Legacy Sports, the parent company of Howa, introduced this very nice upland shotgun.

I hereby present to you "The Pointer."

Glad that Mrs Fin is up and around again. Please give her my best wishes.

Interesting discussion on trucks. I live in the center of Houston, and drive a 4runner (1995 Pathfinder before that - the old truck based version. I am going to take a very close look at the Nissan web site.
