I used to shoot both right and left handed as a kid, which got me a trip to the eye doc who said, nothing wrong with him just slightly left eye dominant. Since I had been more comfortable shooting right handed that is how I stayed. I shot 2 years of small-bore indoor in colledge and had to use a "blinder" on my left eye, and that caused some serious headaches by the end of the matches. I still shoot rifles and shotguns righthanded and pretty well think. Pistols I tend to find myself trying to use my left eye still, maybe why I am not much of a pistol shot.
