I did when I was young. I'm right-handed but shoot long guns left-handed and my accuracy improved greatly. I didn't know it at the time but I was left eye dominant.

I shoot mostly from my right side and my left eye is dominate.


Make a triangle with your hands and put your arms out. Focus on something away from you and slowly pull your hands in. Whatever eye it goes to is your dominate eye no matter what side you shoot from.

I shoot left as a handicap on the skeet range sometimes. Feels weird and kicks a lot more.

The exact method I used when I discovered that I am left-eye dominant but do everything right handed. Not a bad shot right handed, but always wonder how much I may improve by switching to my dominant eye.

I have shot right handed all my life but for some reason I'm slowly losing my vision in my right eye. I have started shooting left handed when it doesn't matter to prepare myself for the day I need it. I swing much smoother left handed but lack the coordination to stay on live birds like I do right handed.

Yea thats another thing, my vision is going in my right eye as well. Going to start wearing a patch around the house to strengthen it. When you shoot from the other shoulder does it seem to kick a shite done more?

I do everything right handed, except shooting shotguns and rifles. I can shoot right handed too, but I'm left eye dominant so that side feels most natural especially when pass shooting ducks.

I use right handed guns and only had a problem with a Remington .22 that ejected hot brass onto my arm.

I'm left eye dominate. Write Left handed, eat left handed, and Shoot. EVERYTHING else in my life is Right Handed - Bat, Throw, Golf, kick, Stronger arm.

It basically is the product of being left handed as a child, and people forcing you to do things as a right-handed person.
