New glasses at the range are always entertaining!

Hey, don't fall down the stairs!

Ugh... I too have issues with this. Honestly the best thing for me is to just keep practicing. I am left handed but have learned to shoot right handed and I am right eye dominant. I can handle the pistol with either hand and have been acurate with both. It's just easier to shoot right handed and even though according to my doc my vision (without correction) is worse in my right eye I still use it.

Last time I got new glasses I came home and thought to myself "I just mowed the yard how did the grass get so tall and why is the sidewalk uphill now?" Perhaps the saddest part is mine is this bad now and I am only 33. LOL.

I figured out I have been taking lots of photos on my DSLR camera .......and use my left eye to focus.

I shoot a gun and camera right-handed and I am left-eye dominant. It can make things difficult. I would suggest young shooters and photographers to train themselves while they are young.

I have the same issue when I am shooting. I am right handed but left eye dominant. When I force myself to sight with me right eye, I am dead on. When I catch myself sighting with my left eye, I am to the left of center. It is annoying as heck and had taken a lot of practice to make sighting with my right eye a habit. I was a little kid when I figured out I was left eye dominant when I went to shoot a rife and I couldn't close my left eye to sight through the scope.

It may sound stupid, but go get an eye patch and wear it over your left eye when you are watching tv or are just around the house. It will help your brain use your right eye out of habit more.
