Ah, you finally lit the lightbulb. I finally understand your greater,
than most, reliance on the motors. Obviously you can't refine the
technique of squeezing off the shot and reflexively winding on in one
smooth "no think" motion. To most normal right eyed shooters, even the
wind on pressure and force variations aren't much of a factor since the
action becomes quite automatic and constant.
Did you lose sight in your right eye during your life or were you born
without it?
