I shoot a bow right-handed, but a rifle left-handed . . .?

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I'm not ambidextrous, but I've always done this, and I'm a very good shot with both. However, shooting a rifle is the only thing I do left-handed. My right hand is dominant for virtually everything else.

It could have something to do with which eye is dominant. Normally, your dominant eye is what controls which eye you shoot from. However, it is probably just a matter of comfort for you...if you're a good shot with both, then stick with what works for you.
