You can get women's shooting shirts, but I have NEVER seen one for lefties, and it's actually hard to even find them with patches on both sides too - and never ever with a gelpad sleeve for lefties.<BR/><BR/>One thing at a time, I suppose.

Although their service and returns policies are excellent, their lack of selection of women's hunting boots, clothing, waders, solid color chamois shirts, etc,is lacking.The same is true for all the big mail order/wharehouse outfitters.
