[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2375955, member: 29323"] I'm right handed and my dad noticed I was left eye dominant at a young age. He had me play with my toy guns left handed. I don't believe that is the right answer. I don't believe it matters if you're using a scope, and who on this site doesn't? I could not shoot worth a darn until I bought a pistol and started using my right trigger finger. At that point, I could shoot that .22 pistol better than my .22 rifle. I believe trigger accuity is more important than eye dominance. I also never learned to shoot with both eyes open. I can shoot just as well right handed as left, which was handy when I hurt my shoulder. Left handed guns are more expensive (doesn't seem to be an issue for most on this forum) and harder to find. I learned to shoot right handed bolts, and by the time I actually bought a left handed gun, it just didn't feel right. I couldn't find a lightweight rifle (that I could afford) in a left handed version. I'd say buy a single shot rifle like a Contender or Encore or Ruger #1 and see which way he shoots better. Or put a scope on a pellet gun and see. [/QUOTE]
