I shoot right-handed, but I am left-eye dominant. Anyone have this problem? How do you compensate for it.

If you're going to shoot righty there is no correction. The correction is learning to shoot lefty. Been there, done that and its not as hard as you'd think...

Start shooting from the left and it will work itself out. If it helps you may experiment with shooting with one eye(the left one) open or both open.

Shoot off your left shoulder.

It took me about five seconds on a Benjamin pellet gun.

Right handed/left eye dominant here. I've always shot left handed though. Except for bow. I can shoot off of either shoulder also. Practice is the only answer. I shoot a shotgun with only one eye open and the shooting coaches I've had used to chew me out about it. I cant hit shite with both eyes open though. Sensory overload I guess. I get easily distrac........what was I saying?

4X4 how you been? Yep, coaches would chew the shite out of you. Both eyes open is the way to go.

I shoot with both eyes open. I have macular degeneration and am losing sight in my right eye, so about 3-4 yrs ago I started opening both eyes...no problem now.

Whats up man?! Hows them young'uns doing? Once they realized that I was an amazing shot if they'd just leave me the hell alone I was fine.
