I hope I have posted this in the right place. I have recently have Arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder. The downside to this is I am right handed. It will be a few weeks until I am recovered enough to shoot with my dominant hand again so I am carrying on my left side. I have fired a few rounds with my left hand in the past. I now know that I should have done more practice with offhand shooting. I have not been to the range yet, but have practiced drawing to familiarize myself with the position of my gun. I have also practiced my reloads. The only problem I have run into is that I try to line the sights up with my dominant eye. Even if I though I keep both eyes open to shoot, it still happens. Has anyone encountered this before? How did you adjust?
