I am left-handed and in the past have always used a left-hand grip and my left eye to aim.
However, I have recently developed an optic nerve problem with my left eye which has caused my left eye vision to deteriorate about 30%. As an example, shooting during the day, aiming my left eye, I can see the front sight (blurry) but not make out the dot with Trijicon night sights.
I have switched to using my right eye to aim while still using a left-handed grip. I have found that my accuracy seems to be about the same with this method.
My question is: Would I achieve better accuracy by learning to shoot with a right-handed grip? I suspect that this might depend on the person, but then again it might just a bad idea, period.
Since I mainly shoot a .44 mag, .460 mag, & .500 mag, ammo is expensive. Therefore I thought I would propose the question to the forum before investing money (ammo) to this method.
FYI: I am positive that my right arm can handle the recoil of the calibers I have mentioned.
Any input/experience would be appreciated.
