Question for leftys

I’m right handed and have shot left handed with right handed guns my whole life
I’ve been ambidextrous also but sounds quirky writing it down.
 
Lifelong lefty who, until 2 years ago, only used right handed rifles.

Using a right handed rifle generally means an awkward and slower followup shot if that means anything to you. I never had an issue with it until I shot my 2020 buck. Struggled to get a second round in the chamber. I did recover the deer because I made a good shot, but I was pretty nervous for a minute
 
Lefty here who has always shot right handed bolts. I bought 2 left handed Tikkas and do not feel any more comfortable with them than my right handed rifles. I guess it’s what you get used to.
 
I shot right handed all of my life until I found out I am left eye dominant. Now, I could not tell you what "hand" I shoot from. 50/50 left to right. Handgun, shotgun and rifle are all ambi now.

This has been an awesome skill to have. I have found in hunting situations that you can't always pick the perfect shot from your preferred hand / eye. Good to be proficient in both.

All that being said I run a RH rifle using my left easy, don't know if I could shoot a LH rifle as well from the right though. I should try...

My dad wouldnt buy a left hand for me so thats the way I learned to shoot
No problem with operating the bolt whatsoever
I even build my own rifles and all of them are righties and I even built one with a left hand cheek weld for a right hand rifle
