Hi All,
I was talking to a friend that is Right handed and Left eye dominant. He told me that his firearms instructor told him that he will need to shoot a long gun left handed. My knee jerk reaction is your eye dominance doesn't matter if you close one of your eyes when shooting. I know some can shoot pistols and rifles with both eyes open but I suspect the majority of people close one eye like me. Is it reasonable to tell my friend to just close his dominant left eye when shooting a long gun (and or pistol)? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks All,
Eric
