I find this >interesting! K >> I shoot Everything Left eyed... Cameras, Bows, Rifles... But I am >> Absolutely right-handed Yes, one's head is canted quite severely over the stock. My left eye is much sharper than my right, although still needing substantial correction. (I consider my right to be of Zorki quality and my left like an old Tessar with heavy cleaning marks. I visited an eye surgeon this morning and am considering LASIK; perhaps afterwards, they both might approach Summicron quality. For the price of LASIK, I can actually buy a pair of new Summiluxes!) I aim my Leicas with my left eye, shoot with a left handed bow, and shoot rifles right handed. It is not only completely uncomfortable to use my right to aim, I also find I can't focus any camera at all with my right, even through glasses. - -Robert - ------- PowerLogix R&D, Inc.
