Rustler, SASS #33316 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Bouncing off Mr. CP's thread on "Double Duelist and 2 guns" we have agreed that DD is a style not a Category. As an uncoordinated, spastic Duelist I am in awe of those of you who can make your off hand work as well as your strong hand. But in my Fantasy World you would have your own Category as you are not shooting in the "Spirt" of a Pistolero (search the forum)! Pistoleros shoot one handed, the same hand and use the other hand to hold up your britches. A "Double Duelist Gamer" will almost always beat a regular proper Duelist - It's just aint fair, so get out of my category and just go to GF... We are Pistoleros and shoot Duelist as it was meant to be!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee williams Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Or we could keep double duelist as just duelist and make it if you shoot only with the strong side hand call that "duelist light". Has a nice ring to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way to help speed up that process is to use your weak hand for everyday tasks you’d usually use your strong hand to perform. This works especially well in the bathroom. Use the toilet, brush your teeth, comb your hair, etc. use your weak hand for all of these. Pretty soon you’ll notice a vast improvement in the performance of your weak hand.

One of the things that we drummers stress is to use the "weak" hand for everyday tasks! It really helped in building up my left hand. Makes sense for shooting too!

Curious as to the thought here. How could a DD out shoot a D? Is it a time thingy on clearing leather? I do not have many years or matches under my gun belt but foreseeing the desire to shoot GF, I made the decision to start shooting DD. I am not any faster strong hand than weak hand and always finish at the end of the posse. I eventually switched to GF, shooting Josey Wales as much as I can and still finish last in the posse. The truth about a pistolero ... if’n ya take that thar hot lead in your gun arm, yull make a better pistolman if’n you could shoot back with your other wing.

A pistolero for sure. I have become somewhat ambidextrous myself. I have always wrote with left hand but did most everything else right handed. I switched from "trade-off" duelist (left gun to right hand) somewhere around 10-12 years ago. It took lots of practice and hard mental conditioning. I did, and at times still do, have to convince Mr. Self that left is as good as right. In the last few years it has become obvious that left is actually faster per shot than right. I contribute this to practice and the fact that at 73, the right has just had more "ware and tear" thru use, and no doubt the worst in thumb arthritis. Clock seems to dictate that right is perhaps a tad faster on draw/hit first shot but left out runs right in five shots. At the end of 10 shots, the total time is about same whether i start with left or right. I'm long ways from a top speedy duelist, but like TN W, s Bull, and others mention, the advantages are way in the plus column as a duelist competitor for me, at least, if shot as DD.. I will disagree to theory that a true pistolero shoots duelists with only one particular hand for 10 rounds (yes, I'm biased), but I will vote yes that a pistolero is a duelist as long as 10 rounds comes from unsupported hand, left or right or five from each. With my definition, a gunfighter is a pistoreo also....just one with far more mental discipline in CAS than I. Yes, Wid, that makes you a pistolero in my book.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I can shoot "double duelist" and I have. I even messed with gunfighter also a few times. I keep going back to the strong hand and crossdraw. I'm much more comfortable doing that. I'm not as fast with my left hand and not as accurate either. It's something you have to really work at and I'm too lazy! Plus crossdraw just looks really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee williams Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I'm guilty of being ambidextrous too. Im the youngest of 12 and have two lefty siblings. Funny how in school they wouldn't let me write left handed. The ambidextrous thing reminded me of a funny. Im trying to remember best I can. There was an espn interviewing a basketball player that had made the game winning shot going up to do a layup. The player switched hands and hit the basket left handed. The interviewer asked the player if he was suprised he made the shot left handed. The guy said, no I knew Id make it because Im perpendicular.
