She was shooting right-handed. Her left eye was on the outside.

I know Kona is "supposed" to be left-handed but the clues are pointing towards ambi-clumsy
I noticed Konata closing her right eye immediately. I was on my high school's riflery team and still have somewhat of an interest in firearms today (although the only guns I own are Airsoft ones). It didn't really bother me since one person on the riflery team was a lefty but right-eye dominant, if I remember correctly. I just found it odd. And I'm sure it's not an animator mistake since as everyone knows, this is the studio that worked on Full Metal Panic!: TSR and Fumoffu (and keeps reminding us ).

So either Kona-chan is ambidextrous but favors her right hand and is left-eye dominant, or she is messing around. Or the animators did that to mess with the gun-otaku out there.
