Thread: Left eye dominant shooter, left handed rifle?

It all comes down to muscle memory. From very early on, most people assume you mount a rifle/gun/bow on the right side, without any thought of checking for eye dominance. Then when left eye dominance is recognised, its difficult to change that muscle memory. I see it so often with parents so keen to teach their kids that they insist the child shoots right handed. Then when asked to help improve the Childs accuracy or some problems, I find the child has left eye dominance.

If you have limited muscle memory or it feels odd using a right handed rifle, I would suggest you get a left handed rifle as soon as. Practice mounting and using it left handed and it wont take long until your muscle memory is all left handed. And then your mates wont want to borrow your rifle, which is a bonus.
