If so, do you shoot RH Rifles and Shotguns or LH? I bought a LH Savage .308 for Deer, but still have a RH 12 Gauge. The only Semi I see in LH is Benelli with a hefty price tag.

Lefty here, all my stuff is right handed but have never had a problem shooting them. The shotguns I carry most are doubles so that reduces problems even more...

I am left handed in every sense.

Shotguns I hunt with are either my BPS or Ithaca Mdl 37. Both have bottom ejects.

Rifles I hunt with now are single shot, 7400 Alt 6, or a RH A-Bolt. My next long gun is going to be a custom made LH 25-06 or 270 WSM.

Absolutely not, if someone tries to tell you that a lefty shooting righty is faster because of bolt manipulation ask them why all rightys dont shoot lefty.

Id be lying if I told you I shot shotguns a lot, but I do have a Benelli SBE Left hand. I do know that Remington makes/made a left hand 1100.

About the only gun I shot thats not ambi or LH is a Glock and only because I bought them and trained with them as they are. When I win the powerball Ill buy the gen4 glocks and switch.

Lefty by necessity here. Right eye was injured in fishing mishap as a 15 year old and I had to switch. Very smooth transition.

My brother and I are both LH but everything we shoot is RH. I never wanted to spend the extra money to get a lefty firearm.

The only bow I have access to is also RH.

Right handed but left eye dominant.

Shoot bows and long guns lefty, shoot handgun as a righty.

I shot RH bolt actions as a kid before folks identified that I shot from the left side. A LH bolt action rifle is worth the addtional spend as it keeps you from dismounting the gun to reload.

I generally use automatic shotguns with right side eject and havent been bothered by it. I dont see me splurging for a left side eject shotgun.

I am left-handed. I have a left-handed AR and a right-handed AR. The brass deflector on the right-handed AR really makes it not matter. Now on some bolt-action rifles working the bolt when you are a lefty can be tricky and having hot brass fall on you is certainly not fun.

My M1A actually has something in the instruction booklet telling you that the gun was designed for a right-handed shooter the way Uncle Sam intended.

I grew up shooting left handed because I could not close my left eye and keep my right eye open...

I had to wear a patch when I was really little and did not have the strength to shoot left handed. Then I graduated to being able to just shoot left handed.

But now I'm able to shoot left or right handed with ease.

I know. It's amazing I'm a functioning adult.
