    Left eye dominant right handed

    All good stuff. Thanks. I also emailed Chuck Hawks website and he said like Lark that for scope shooting once the eye is closed it is the dominant eye. I'm going to the range this weekend and have some fun shooting both sides. Thanks for all the reponse.
  3. OK, this is my first post, but I've been reading the forum for a few years, I guess I never had something to ask that hadn't been asked before. I was just helping my 7 year old get dialed in on his ruger 10/22 and becuase he eats left, writes left, but bats right and throws with both hands I figured I should check his dominant eye. Well I learned he is right eye dominant, which should be good for a family of three boys and thier dad (me) who are all right handed, except in teaching him how to check I learned that I' left eye dominant. So how did it take this long for me to figure out? I was never the best shot in the Army, but shot expert, but they did put me on the M60 for a reason, was never a great shot. I mostly hunt pig and coues, and I always shot a bit to the right, so I just always did a bit a Kentucky windage and accounted for my right shooting. I thought it was that I had a heavy finger and just needed to practice. I guess I've been successful I've shot a few coues at 350 and 400 yards plenty of pigs and such, but I've never felt real comfortable. I shoot my shotgun with both eys open and don't own a hangun. So I went to the range with my older boys 223 and shot a group at 50 yrds right handed that was nice an tight and all 2 inches left. Then I switched and shot left at 50 and I was dead on at 50. Is this an easy question, time to switch to left? Can I just crank the scope a few notches to the left? I dont really have the money to go buying new guns, but it was kinda wierd shooting a right gun lefty. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks

    Left eye dominant right handed

    Well, I'm really happy to hear that it sounds like I can keep my right handed bolt actions. I'm just going to keep practicing with my boys 223, easy and cheap gun to shoot. It did feel odd yesterday at the range, I kept having a hard time finding comfort with my right hand. I have my boys 223 on a bipod, so I just shot on the bench and crossed my right hand back underneath and rested on my left forearm. I did start shooting my shotgun both eys open a few years back because I just thought i shot better, now I know that it was because my left eye was dominant. Sure does explain some dove and quail misses that just didn't make sense. Well, I kinda excited to go shoot my first left handed coues, going to feel like my first deer all over again. Thanks for all the advice, I love the site, good honest help. Hope to post a pic of my first left handed coues.
