well, we just disagree. No worries. I could never get used to roping right any more than I can get used to using a left-handed bolt action.

Pretty hard to rope heels on the turn left handed. The cow is moving away from the loop. Roping on the second or third jump on a straight line pull, no difference is what I observed.
Saddle scabbards; I liked the 94's and 336's right side, butt back ready to draw from the saddle or on the dismount. tying them in is a good idea when your horse is lunging up a steep incline. Butt forward is more secure overall I would say for that reason and also, you can simply see it and thus manage disasters. Rolling in a bog or in my brothers case, down the canyon to hang up with horse stuck in the oak brush just feet from the slick rim, rifle damage is hard to avoid. Never could load a deer on that horse again. A couple of boys made a bad mistake on that day.
