Lee Enfield at War

[Beerhunter]

Using the SLR/L1A1 left handed was perfectly acceptable and no problems. Or am I missing something? There was a shooting competition where you HAD to fire a series of shots around cover, alien to your usual way

If you are missing something Peter, then so am I. Shooting from the left shoulder was a common technique in FIBUA, for example, for firing around cover.

Load and cock in the normal fashion but shoot off the left shoulder.

It just struck me that FIBUA is probably not used any more; fighting being such a nasty non-PC word. They probably call it: "not being very nice in an urban environment" these days.
