Lefty, but I'm blind in my left eye, so the only thing I do left handed is write, everything else is done with the right (with a small level of being ambidextrous)

Left eyed and mostly right handed - maybe 60/40 R/L handedness.
Rifles - left handed whenever possible
Pistols - right handed/left eye.
I've noticed since getting glasses about 6 years ago my left has got stronger and my right weaker...

Having now crossed the equator and being the wrong way up has your hand and eye dominance not swapped over?

Surprising no. It's the shooting upside down again that's proving tricky!

I am right handed and have central vision.
Same here, supposedly makes for good pilots for some reason but its a bugger for shooting which is why i prefer to shoot everything with a red dot on now so both eyes can be open and it doesn't really matter.
When i'm shooting clays i just put a square of tap on the left lens of my glasses to keep focus in the right eye.
Funnily enough, in my youth, I joined the RAF as a pilot. But my generally below average eyesight let me down. I passed the eyesight test before starting OASC but had to have it redone part way through and failed. I use a blinder on a headband for target shooting and close my left for clays.

Left eye dominant, right handed. Shoot right handed all the time, but occasionally for practical shotgun I have to shoot left handed to make the shot, and tbh never really tried any amount of left handed shooting.
