Caleb has a great video on this non-issue:
I’m left-eye dominant, and right handed. With pistols this is not even remotely a problem. Again the pistol simply crosses my center-line just a tiny bit as I align my sights. I shoot with both eyes open unless I’m focusing on a small or distant target.
Its as simple as the video. My big issue comes with rifles and shotguns. It’s a pain! With both eyes open I’m always seeing the front post or bead with my left eye. When I’m shooting fast with these guns I do the complicated procedure of mounting the gun with both eyes open, and spotting my target. As I track the target I close my left eye correct the sights and break my shot.
Of course the obvious solution is to get a rifle with a red-dot sight, but not all my rifles and shotguns have this….
I have the same issue. I even smeared vaseline on the left lens of my shooting glasses to force my right eye to be temporarily dominate. It worked fine if I was stationary. I could see with depth perception, but my right eye took over for aiming. Gave me a headache if I kept it on too long. Thinking about trying shooting long guns left handed.
I just got thinking about it, I don’t WANT to train my right eye to be dominant, because as great as it would be to shoot clays with both eyes open, or to be able to break the shot on my rifles with both eyes, let’s face it, if my life depends on it, I’m likely going to be drawing a pistol. My pistols come up to my point of aim damn close every time and just need a quick correction before I touch the trigger. I’d hate to mess that up by making my right eye dominant…
