[QUOTE="41mag, post: 129682, member: 3804"] Dave, I completely understand the eye dominance thing. Cody is the same way only left eye dominant, and has always played with his toy guns situated on his right shoulder, looking through his left eye. He does equally well shooting either right or left handed, just getting the hands where they need to be when using which ever eye gets to him sometimes. It is a total pleasure to watch him learning. He works very hard at the little things and generally notices pretty quickly about which eye he is looking through and which way he should be holding the rifle. Sometimes though he get it crossed up, then sits back and looks as if he is thinking, now what is wrong with this picture. I think the long wait took it's toll on the both of us. I was totally frustrated telling him "ok", "no wait", "now", "no wait". This went on for close to half an hour. The hog he got, only took about 10 minutes from the time it came out till it hit the ground and we only had to hold up once when he spooked out and came right back in. The area we are hunting is so closed in and close to the feeder, that any little movement or sound is definately easily picked up. It makes the hunting harder, but also is teaching him to move slow and be quiet. Thanks for the words, it sure gives me much more appreciation for my pop, who spent countless hours sitting in stands and in the woods with me as a youth. [/QUOTE]
