DO YOU WEAR YOUR RIFLE POUCH ON THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND WHY?

[greyhunter]

Wear my possibles bag on the left (I'm a righty). Powder horn with antler powder measure attached , on the right, ball board and pan charger around my neck. Anything I need for a second shot is at hand and not in the bag.  When I need a haversack it is under the horn on the right, faster retreive of trail snacks.

I'm right handed and carry bag and horn on left. just feels right.

1/2 a bottle of Champaign latter and after not reading all of the 4 pages of posts on this topic I'll ask the obvious question.   :lol:   I'm sure that during the time, bags and horns were worn in as many variations as we can come up with today.  It is however, interesting the reasoning behind each person's choice.

Keep those cards and letters coming.

I'm right handed and wear my shooting pouch and horn on the left, high enough to clamp under my elbow when moving quickly.  I have a much easier time filling my measure without spilling as well.

I too, worry about sparks when I see someone, especially a flinter carrying his horn on the same side he shoots from.   I think Range Safety Officers, or anyone for that matter who sees a shooter shooting while his horn is unplugged should say something to the shooter.   Same-o same-o loading directly from the horn.

I am a left hander, who shoots right handed, carries his bag on the right and powder his horn on the left.  Being a lefty in a right hander's world, I find I am more proficient when I use both hands for different tasks.

Left hander's are the only one's in their right minds.
