If you are a right handed shooter, what side do you carry your powder horn and shot bad? Left or right?
 
Unfortunately, there is NO right answer to this question. I started out with the horn under the right arm and the bag on the left. Now both are on the right side. Depends mostly on how easy it is to load.......
 
I carry the powder horn on the rt side on a strap over my shoulder with the possibles bag, and the shot flask on the left hip.
 
Have seven bags and only way I like to carry them is on my right side, am right handed. Like them at ellowbow. All have powder horn fastened to bag straps. Just one strap to pick up. I carry knife or hawk on left side. Tried other ways but come back to this way. Dilly
 
Right side with the horn attached to the bag strap.I read somewhere this was a "military rig".At any rate its one less strap to choke ya!
 
I carry the bag on the right and up under the elbo, so I can clamp down with my arm on the pouch if I have to run.

I'm right handed and wear my pouch on the right side. I carry powder and ball in the pouch.
 
Right side. My left hand holds the muzzle while the right hand does all the work .. Like a right hander does every day.

My bag is on the left and horn on the right.... I am right handed but have learned to use my left to do most of the loading
 
Guess I'm the odd man out...
I have always carried the horn on the left, bag on the right. Keeps the horn away from the burning powder in the flashpan and it seems handier to me...
