Just the other morning at the range I practiced draw and double tap, kneel down and shoot, right hand only and left hand only.

when I shoot left handed, i use my left eye and close my right. When I shoot right handed, either two handed or one handed, I use both eyes open, and either focus on front sight only or focus on target only. For precise shooting, I close my left eye and use my dominent eye only.

I practice with reading glasses sometimes so I can see my sights, and sometimes I will practice without glasses. The sights are very blurry because of my aging eyes.

Try dry firing with you left and it will start to feel more natural. Shooting with some .22 will help get you used to left handed, without the recoil at first. Good for you, most people don't even practice any single handed shooting.
