Re: Left eye dominant and right handed son

I am soooo right handed I don't wear a sock good on my left foot - as a joke, the Good Lord made me EXTREMELY left eye dominant. As a kid I learned this awful contortion to shoot right handed long arms. I cannot leave my right eye open and close my left eye to save my life - I can close right and leave left open or both closed or both open - no happy medium. If I try to shoot both eyes open right handed I cannot get a site picture.

About 6 months ago I learned to shoot long arms left handed with a very patient person's help. At first I could not even grip the rifle without looking and purposefully placing my hands. Now it feels odd to shoot a long arm right handed. Just practicing with my left hand trigger finger. ;-)

I do still shoot my side arms right handed. I agree with the ambidextrous thing.... could come in handy if you lose function of your strong side.
