Re: My son is right handed; left eye dominant
I am right handed, left eye dominant. Additionally, the vision in my right eye is substantially worse due to an oddball astigmatism. I was frustrated by shooting through most of my youth until my parents saw a movie called "Firebirds" and realized that was my problem. I started shooting left handed with rifles and shotguns in my teens. Once you have started the other way, it's hard to make the transition, but very much worth it. I didn't start really shooting handguns until I was in my 30's. Handguns I now can shoot ambidextrously, but am better with my right hand, both eyes open. It takes lots of concentrated practice to overcome existing habits if they are already in place, but it is worth the effort.
