[QUOTE="Tensilon, post: 2377997, member: 29503"] Hey, I think I've mentioned this before but when I was 18 years old and in MCRD San Diego I was in with a group of guys where most of them were from Detroit and Flint Michigan....city boys. I thought as a country boy with a fair amount of experience shooting rifles at animals, I would shoot the pants off of them, LOL. I shot high sharpshooter which was not what I anticipated, better than lots of them but not great. I had always shot right-handed. 2 weeks before qualification they gave us a personal coach. Mine was a corporal Tonn from Iowa. I told him my problem and in about 3 seconds he determined I had a left dominant eye. He said we'll switch you to shooting left. I said in 2 weeks??? He said no problem. Told me I would be shooting expert in no time. He was correct, and in no time I was pounding the bull steadily. Shot pretty darn high expert every time I qualified, not just the 16 but the 14 also.... I would highly suggest letting him shoot left handed. It will make you smile when he starts hitting targets like his old man. BTW I have always, since I switched to left, shot with both eyes open. Semper Fi Tens :cool: [/QUOTE]
