[QUOTE=Spartan359] (IIRC the Army field manual for the M-14 {TM 9-1005-223-12 I think?} even states that if you are a left handed shooter you need to correct your ways and shoot right handed).

The Army writes a lot of stupid things in their doctrine. The fact is that the Army for many years couldn't handle the thought of anyone doing something with a firearm that was different than anyone else. Canting rifles or pistols is another one that the Army hates for absolutely no solid reason.

If a fellow wants to swap sides with his shooting then he can go for it. I would caution someone about this if their decision was based only on Army marksmanship doctrine though.

Do well with what ever you are firing.
