[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1729837, member: 78056"] TGV, changing things that have worked for 30 years seems a bit odd to me but there's not a lot of harm in giving the lefty lifestyle a shot. It won't feel comfortable for a long time but you can force yourself to learn new tricks if it actually improves things for you. If there's not that much of a gain, however, I wouldn't put too much effort into changing everything you've been doing just fine for so long. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. I feel much more comfortable shooting right handed and since all of my rifles are scoped, it makes little difference. I can, however, shoot left handed almost as well as I can righty. However, knocking on the door of 70, I'm starting to develop cataracts, so while I may have to adjust the ocular on a scope depending on how well I can see that day, when it comes to handguns I just have to lean a bit and use my left eye sometimes. I'm in the process of putting red dots on as many pistols as I can afford to, which should eliminate most or all of these problems. I may put them on my shotguns as well since I've always shot with my left eye closed, which is a pain (getting some tips from pro at the trap range is how I found out I was LED). When shooting off the bench I have a patch that covers the left lens of my glasses, so I don't get eye strain in my left, squinty eye! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
