Re: Left eye dominant and right handed son

I'm the opposite, right eye dominant but left-handed.

I learned to shoot leftie from the get-go. Rifle, pistol, shotgun, I all shoot with my left side, including my left eye, and I keep both eyes open. I'm pretty fair sure I'm able to do this as, when I was a kid, I learned the trick of crossing ...
