About 10% of all people are left-handed. About 30% of the population has a dominant left eye. In quite a few shooters, the left dominant hand is paired up with the right dominant eye, or the right hand and left eye.

Closing the dominant eye to use rifle sights is uncomfortable and feels unnatural.
