[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 1025104, member: 28381"] Right handed and VERY left eye dominant here. I shoot everything RH; pistol, shotgun, rifles, archery, you name it and do it with both eyes open. But when I use a camera, a spotting scope or anything similar, I put that up to my left eye naturally. When I played baseball and golf (also a long time ago) I could hit the ball from either side. I was more accurate from the right side but hit the long ball from the left side in both games. In the 70's, when I was taught to shoot, it was right handed (Iron sights) because my uncle said so and that wasn't questioned. Now, a lot of years later, I've tried to tried to move over to the south side of the gunstock, just to give it a try based on all that has been said and written. It is completely foreign to me as I felt like I was learning to walk or write again. The only plus I found was that I could clearly see the bubble level and the ACI without lifting my head from the stock. Most likely a cruel trick the eyes play when one gets a bit older. lesson learned: It ain't broke and it don't need fixin'... for me anyway. and in all the activities mentioned, [B][I]practice was key[/I][/B].
