Shooting effectively with your non-dominant side is a practical skill for any handgunner and serves as a valuable training exercise, highlighting areas for improvement in your fundamentals. The support hand often compensates with bad dominant hand technique e.g., bad trigger press. If shooting with your non-dominant side is new to you, don’t worry about the clock and do this drill slowly.
