Re: Right Hand, Left Eye

I as well am right handed and left eye dominant, I disagree with the assertion that you should teach your daughter to shoot right handed, because the only way to shoot right handed is by closing or squinting her left (dominant) eye. This will result in it being impossible to teach her to shoot both eyes open. Luckily I was taught to shoot left handed once my father found out I was left eye dominant, and I have been glad of that fact ever since. Another interesting fact is that I find it almost impossible to shoot a rifle with iron sights right handed, but find it much less difficult to shoot a rifle with 1x optics (eotech and aimpoint for example). I guarantee you that if she has not formed a habit of shooting right handed she will find it much easier and less frustrating to learn to shoot left handed.
