After reading these posts from all you screwed up righty/lefty guys, I feel better now! I'm right handed but shoot a rifle/shotgun/bow left handed. My father also switched me to LH when he saw me using my left eye to sight my BB gun. That's him in my avatar holding his bayoneted M1 left handed. Don't know if I was left eye dominant at the time, but I'm right eye now and too old to switch. Even though I'm fairly adept at running a right bolt gun from the left shoulder, a left bolt is easier and faster from most field positions where you need to keep one hand on the forend. As bsa mentioned though, off a supported rest a lefty can make a right bolt sing!
