I remember going flintlock muzzle loader shooting the first time prior to a
week long backpack hunting trip. A friends' father loaned me his gun. Right
before I pulled the trigger my friend reminded me that I really did not want to
shoot that right handed gun lefty as I do. The powder flash might have ended my
trip before I left.

If I shoot a rifle it gets interesting as I put the rifle butt to the right
shoulder and usually
use left eye. I was somewhat ambidexterous as a child. I used to write on the
right page with my
right hand and on the left page with my left hand. Whatever you do seems to get
to feel natural
eventually, I think.
