Good news for Vanguard fans...

I took 16 kids, between 8 and 10 yrs old, to the archery range a month ago for my son's b-day. Was surprised that left eye to right eye dominance was 50/50 amongst them. Doesn't mean anything, was just interesting.
I'm right handed but left eye dominant, bought the blaze vanguard 2 and absolutely love it. And, yes, now I want a left hand vanguard and they probably will eventually get my money for a Mark.

Fortunately, changing a bow to leftie means only drilling the sight mounts etc in the opposite side and only the middle portion with hand grip needs changed..... Very easy to do... Rifles are much harder....

I feel for you lefties Phil.... My good friend is a border guard and the cbsa wasn't smart enough to order ambidextrous pistols so when he takes mandatory range practice he enjoys 9mm casings in the face.....

What kind of bow are we talking about here? Changing a modern compound from right to left would involve replacing the riser, which is about 60% of the bow, if not more. It's possible, of course, but would be kind of like replacing the chassis in a pickup... usually you'd save money by just buying a new unit.

Anyway, back to the 3-position safety. Good for Weatherby and all but I never would have asked for it. Can't say being able to lock the action has ever really given me peace of mind.

You know, until a couple months back I absolutely would have agreed with you - my thoughts were "ok fine, but so what".

Then while making my way through some underbrush, with the safety in the second position (bolt unlocked but won't shoot) the bolt got hooked on a branch, popped the bolt open and ejected a shell.

From then on I lock the bolt when crashing through the brush.

Even though I reload my own I still don't have enough extra cash that I want to toss Toonies around in the woods :)
 
Having a three position is handy in so many ways, I wish I had one all along....

I am not "afraid" of guns or accidental discharge...... But, on my own land and in my camp, for my style of hunting, being able to be confident to enter the garage or the front porch and unload the chambered round with confidence is big to me......
 
Of course the 257 Wby would have to be the cheapest..... And I'd been pissing and moaning about $699 for one of these in the S2 stocks for sometime now.....guess I better stock up on that $2 brass now with saving $200 goddamnit

I am left handed but right dominant!
 
Now that I got this I can see the difference between the S1 and S2 stocks. The Blaze orange unit was an S1 stock and I was not very fond of it, pretty cheap and flimsy feeling. The S2 is much stiffer and I'd say it's made of the same material as the Rem 783 stocks.
Anyway I won't be replacing this stock as its pretty decent for a $500 gun.
