Just curious if you shoot better on birds flying right to left or left to right, or are you equally accurate either way. I am better at acquiring my target on birds passing right to left. My follow through is a lot better right to left. Right handed. At least I'm not the only one.

Right to left for me. I write left handed, but shoot, swing a bat, and a golf club right handed. Can use hand tools with either hand.

I’m right handed but haven’t noticed much difference either way.

I'm cross eyed dominant so shoot right but do everything else left. Left to right from 270 degrees to 360. Right to left from 90 to about 290.

Its an interesting question, never thought about it, really do not know. I shoot right handed, swinging right to left feels more natural. No doubt - always been that way even at trap and skeet since I was a kid

Right to left for me. Right handed. The harder/quicker the shot the better I shoot. Big fat greenheads floating into the decoys almost as if they're glued in place? Wiff. Wiff. and Wiff.....teal zooming by at 1,000 mph? Dead.  Overthinking the easy shots are my problem - regardless of the direction.

You and me both... a group of dirty nasty ringnecks decoying and I will shoot a triple... nice January mallard drake back pedaling... I might as well not shoot.

I was left handed as a kid, injured wrist, became right handed, and confused.... bat both ways, throw Right, golf right, shoot pool left, eat left handed; and eye dominance switches on me, even during a swing, so I close one eye....
as for the pass shooting, I don't know that it matters much to me, never thought about it much...
I will say the ones I shoot the best are the surprise quick shots, and the ones I have to watch fly for 90 seconds before shooting, are usually safe.... yes, I know that is mental

I shoot right-handed, but for some reason, my swing through is smoother right to left. I'm not truly ambidextrous, but throw a ball with my left and shoot right-handed. When fishing, I primarily cast right-handed. That's probably the reason that even though I am shooting right-handed, my shot is a little better right to left rather than left to right which seems to be the norm for right-handed shooters. I am the same way, right handed, right eye dominant and shoot best right to left. Vice versa, not so great for me.

I am lefty, doesn’t matter, but pushing thru a shot vs pulling is more natural. So for righty - left to right.
