Re: My son is right handed; left eye dominant

I am in the same situation and have been for many decades. I found out I was left eye dominant while in Basic Training and had to shoot much more accurate than as a kid just plinking around. I switched to my left side for the M-16 and everything just fell into place. Back then the M-16's did not have the brass deflectors on them and had many a hot round go down my back, they do burn skin. For handguns I found that for me the best way was to stay right handed and just move the handgun over a slight bit to my left side so the eye easily looks straight down the sights. I would let him try both ways and see what he is most comfortable with and not force him to a specific way since this is supposed to be fun for him at such an early age..... Best Wishes..............
