[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1909316, member: 110162"] My son is ambi , doing many things right handed , but he is a strong left eye dominant. When he was 4, i bought him a chipmunk 22 rh rifle. I stuck a simmons 4x long eye relief shotgun scope on it so it would be forgiving of form at his young age . He was a little young at the time to hold the rifle offhand and shoot, so we started with a resting position on an old rock pile in the back yard. I got him all set up in a comfortable position, but he just looked extremely uncomfortable and held his head really odd on the stock. After a few very awkward shots at the cans i started looking at his form more critically to try and make him more comfortable shooting. Whatever i did to help him never changed his weird stock weld. Finally it hit me ! I asked him to aim at the target while i covered one eye at a time. He was shooting right handed but aiming with his left eye ! I swapped him over to holding lefty on the gun. BAM ! He shot great from then on. [/QUOTE]
