Does anyone gap shoot with there non dominant eye? If I try it with both eyes open it seems very inconsistent left and right.

I had to switch to lefty when I blew my left shoulder. Squinting my rt eye seems to help however my left eye is my weak eye. Im thinking of having lazer eye fix on my left eye. So in theory making it my
dominite eye is there a doctor in the house?

I shoot LH and RH equally when practicing. I'm strongly right eye dominant. The key to gaining accuracy with either eye, I've found, is pretty simple: Just close the other eye. In other words, instead of shooting w/ both eyes (binocular), shoot with one (monocular). I've found I now shoot with similar accuracy from either side.

Be patient. The technique is quite effective.

My rt arm and shoulder are in pretty good shape. I should have switched a few years ago.at least I can still pull with my left.
