That is what I did too. I grew up shoot and handgun right handed (because 1911) and rifles left handed. Now I can shoot both from either side. A RDS was the biggest help getting there IMO.Learn to shoot left handed.
I too am like you. Right handed and left eye dominant. I used to shoot pistols right handed but over time and a lot of reps I now shoot both rifles and pistols left handed.
As far as handguns go having a red dot is a learning curve but well worth it. Especially when shooting both eyes open.That is what I did too.

I don't believe half the crap that kid says.This guy is cross eye dominate and explains how he does it pretty well.
He makes good holsters and that's where it ends for me. His head is pretty inflated. He can shoot fast and that's about it.I don't believe half the crap that kid says.
There are a lot of competent instructors/shooters who are cross-dominant. Larry Vickers is right handed and left eye dominate, shoots a handgun right handed and a rifle left handed. The real freak is Bill Blowers, he is right handed and left eye dominate, he shoot a pistol left handed and a rifle right handed. I've thought about trying it that way for the hell of it.Jeff Cooper was reportedly cross-dominant and he didn't exactly suck. The two-eye open part is not really about eye dominance.
If you can make it up sometime, I'll go over some things with you...no chargeI'm left eye dominant but always shoot right handed. I want to learn to shoot with both eyes open better. Looking for some training to fix my cross eyed shooting. An shooting instructors who can help?
Interesting. My father was cross-dominate like me and he shot rifles left-handed. Shotguns are the real trick. New shooters are often taught to shoot from their eye dominant side. I don't but use a frosted patch on a small area of my left lens so it cannot see the front bead. However, the best 100 birds of trap I ever shot was with my left eye closed and included three rounds of 25 straight...as everyone told me not to do that. Defensive SG I just squint a bit when needed.The real freak is Bill Blowers, he is right handed and left eye dominate, he shoot a pistol left handed and a rifle right handed.

Can help you out...let's get you going on track to improving.I am also a right handed shooter/ left eye dominant. I trained myself to shoot with both eyes open and I go to the range weekly. However, I continue to be inconsistent. I live in Portland and am interested in working with a one on one instructor who can help me work on my accuracy skills. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
