A question O'Wise One.. Right handed. Left eye dominant... What's best way to shoot?

Oddly enough I face this problem daily. Are we talking pistol or rifle? If it is pistol you can easily resolve with both eyes open and a reflex sight, (red dot). If it is rifle you have two choices shoot with non dominate eye or become a switch hitter and shoot with weak side. It really depends on how bad your eyesight is one side to the other. If you are reasonably close it is frankly easier to shoot weak eye strong hand.

I am the same, right-handed and left eye dominant... I shoot left handed... Especially rifles...

My dad was second string on the best rifle team in the country when he was in high school... He taught my brother, me, and my kids how to shoot when we were old enough... I have my dad's eyes and his shooting ability... (I think most of it is from the eyes..... My dad had green eyes with a streak of brown in one - I have green eyes and my right eye is half brown... )

I've only shot a pistol once when my high school friend's dad brought us to the range... He said, "Don't worry about hitting the bulls eye, hitting the target is hard enough"... His dad hit the target 7 out of 14 shots, and I hit it 14 times out of 14 shots... Two shots went through the same hole... (that's what she said... :D)

I became comfortable shooting left handed to go with my left eye dominance...
