The one *consistent* complaint (or warning?) about Appleseed is one I hear from instructors: "Once you volunteer for a hat", the lament goes, "you don't get to shoot nearly as much". Having heartily agreed with this sentiment in the past myself, I decided to drum up some interest in the idea of a support-side-seed, otherwise known as weak-hand-seed, the-other-hand-seed or my-does-this-feel-odd-seed. I am hoping to have a bunch of instructors and IITs show up and shoot an Appleseed from the other shoulder. (Distaff-seed? Less-than-dextrous-seed?). I would personally prefer the July 14 Leyden AS, since that's one where I cannot SBIT, but any other AS would do as well. Extra points for centerfire and/or bolt action, I suppose. Double points if your dominant eye is on the same side as your dominant hand. Misery loves company - otherwise known as strength in numbers. Besides, with the large number of left handers on the line these days, I, at least need to figure this out.
So, any takers?

Come, come now. No takers for aim's challen...I mean invitation?

Bring it on!!! The more the merrier ^:)^
Sorry, but I can't - within about 15 minutes my right shoulder will remind me why I hung up my rattan sword.
I tried shooting lefty last year just on a whim... and discovered that a sling is one of the FASTEST ways to get chronic tendonitis to act up known to dwarves man. :(
I don't know as I'm up for an off-hand - but depending on the day an Instructors (and friends?) KD afternoon out to at least 200 would be awesome. :)
I really like the idea; the location and timing won't work out for me though.
It makes me think that we should be engaging those who already have Rifleman patches with other challenges. I do worry from time to time that people earn their patch and then go home thinking "been there done that" and don't come back again.
Tempting. I doubt I'd be able to make both days, but I'll see if I can at least get away for Sunday...
