Yessir, that is the norm for lots of folks. My dad required that I learn to shoot from either shoulder with the rifle and with either hand using a revolver or pistol. With the rifle I really prefer to shoot left handed with a RH bolt gun but with a handgun my right hand is way smarter than my left!! And there are some "Situations" where having a couple lefties in the group has been a God Send!
