I am left handed but right eye dominant. I shot left handed all my life closing my right eye, until my left eye aged and got weak. Then I taught myself to shoot right handed with my dominant eye. Rifle shooting was fine, but it messed up my shotgunning for a while. Now I can shoot either hand and it can be beneficial when hunting. I used to be a pretty good wing shooter with a shotgun--not as good since the switchover. I have never been a competitive rifle shooter--am mediocre at best.
