[QUOTE="sfdoc2000, post: 2019168, member: 76742"] I shot both civilian and military competition since age 12 and now have passed the #71 birthday. Won numerous titles in smallbore during high school and college. EIC's in National Guard in military comp. Was completely right side dominant. Had six successive retina detachments in the past 1 1/2 years and nine surgeries leaving the right eye centrally blind and the left eye 20/40 at best. Taught myself to just move my pistol to the left keeping the weapon aligned vertically, not rotated, and use the left eye for sight alignment. Really, trigger control is the most important thing in pistol shooting anyway. With so much previous muscle memory at my age it was nearly impossible to teach myself left handed shooting so learned right hand posture with left eye sight alignment. Recently shot 50 round course for our Sheriff qualification course (required to do this for our Search and Rescue group). Only two 8's and all rest 9's and 10's at 15-25 yards with Glock 19. Every shot considered a vital hit. The two head shots are on purpose. Shooting with left eye is great. [/QUOTE]
