One eye or two?

[Questor]

Actually HeavyC nailed it. I shoot bullseye and that means long sessions at the range. Closing one eye would be too fatiguing. But when I started shooting I just took the advice that keeping both eyes open is the way to good shooting for such games as bullseye.

Curtis - heck man, learn to shoot southpaw.  I occassionally go southpaw and am usually pretty happy with the results, and it's a lot fo fun.  Sometimes I even shoot two-handed and that is a real ball.  If you learn to shoot left handed and as a result carry left handed, even with your learned right hand dominance you would have an upper hand with concealability (just a thought).  Mikey.........

I think I could handle my Thompson Contender left handed from a rest, but I'd have to ditch the non-ambi grips.  I tried shooting my Smith M&P 40 left handed and I couldn't hold that small of a pistol steady.  Maybe I just need more strength in my left hand.  Of course lefty practice with a defensive arm could pay dividends because of cover, injury, or other unplanned event in a crunch situation.

While I agree with previous posters that eye dominance probably cannot be changed, I believe enough discipline and practice could enable a shooter to overcome it.
