I had not seen that poll. However, it is not quite the same poll as mine.

Right hand; left eye dominant.
Shooting a camera I use myleft eye;

The left eye dominance thing has me all messed up when shooting rifles; I can only shoot "left handed" and finding left hand bolt action rifles ain't easy.

I bet! I am righthanded, but can switch...

As a lefty, I know exactly how you feel. Quickly operating the r/h bolt with your left sucks. Doing it with your right means you're bound to smash your left hand under the bolt.:lol:

Causing major pain!

Left-eyed and left handed which really screws me up when firing a right-handed only rifle!

You should make those right handers use your lefty rifle! :evil: Wha ha ha!!!

Same exact thing with me. Rifle I shoot lefty, pistol with my right (mostly, pays to be ambexterous(sp) :D ) camera righty and use the left eye, No wonder I live in a state of confusion :lol:

I am with ya!

I seem to be with the majority here... right eye dominant, using the right eye... and even right-handed... Everything is right with me :) alrighty :D

Ah, to be in the "In Crowd"

That's true! :D I'm also a lefty / lefty (i.e., left-eye dominant, and use my left eye on the camera). I'm right-handed.

By the way, this is the third or fourth time I've seen a poll about this in the forums here.

I am sorry for reposting this poll. I just happen not to see it. Here I thought I was being all original. LOL!!!

Left eye, Left hand here. I can't cycle a right handed bolt action, but a pump/auto shotgun in Right hand is easier for me to load and cycle for some reason. I sold my Benelli Super Black Eagle in a lefty, only to buy a Super Black Eagle II in a right hand version!

Left/ Left here but right handed,

I guess it down to the way I hold my camera, feels more comfotable. Doesn't feel right when using my right eye at all.
