Last night I was catching up on some reading….I was behind on the monthly gun rags. Anyhow I saw an ad that made me laugh. I believe it was for Weaver optics and it showed a guy sitting on the ground with his rifle on a set of shooting sticks ready for a shot. There was a dead coyote in front of him and the add said something like “He can’t see me, but I can see him with my 14 power scope” The photo looked odd to me and it took a few seconds for me to figure out why. Eventually I realized the shooter in the photo was using a LH rifle but was shooting RH.

Like many of you I grew up shooting RH rifles and learned how to work the action as a lefty. Never thought I would see a RH shooter having to deal with the same issue.

If I had a way to scan the add I would post you my LH brothers to look at but that is not an option. Look for it and tell me if you see the same bit of humor that I do. Come to think about it, this is actually the second time I have seen this. I believe Sierra had a similar add a few years ago. Maybe there is a secret LH shooter out there somewhere in the ad agency that has a good sense of humor!

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

I remember the Sierra one.

The answer was that the photographer liked the composition of the shot but wanted the shooter's face in the picture so had him pose right handed.
