[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2376182, member: 11853"] I'm 65yrs old now,have worn glasses since I was 5yrs old.With corrective lenses my vision is 20/20 in my left eye and 20/30 in my right eye.I'm right handed,left eye dominant. I never really noticed it that much until about 20yrs ago and started reading about it,then I got the reason why I had issues with certain types of shooting,especially flying birds,more so one direction than the other.I've always shot everything right handed,bow,pistol,shotgun,rifle,everything.To do any of those left handed just doesn't feel right at all period.I would never force a kid to do something that doesn't feel right just because of eye dominance.I would rather make him aware of his issue and how to compensate for it.If I put a gun up to my shoulder right handed,it feels like it belongs there.If I put it up to my left,it just not fit and I do not have the feel of control either.Shooting with a scope doesn't seem to be an issue at all.If I was doing some wing shooting,I'd maybe look into a red dot optics or some sort to train my right eye to be the leader.Getting back to the original poster,you might see about having your son's eyes checked.If he has vision issues like me,that can also contribute to his cross dominance,but may be corrective.
