[QUOTE="securitysix, post: 2828092, member: 32714"] As BobBarker says, you can either shoot left-handed or block off the left side of their shooting glasses and force them to use the right eye. Of course, that latter option depends on what their vision is in each eye. In my case, my right eye works just well enough to give me depth perception and peripheral vision, but it won't focus on anything, even with corrective lenses, so I just can't use it to shoot. That left me with only shooting off the left shoulder. With handguns, it's not too tough to get the gun far enough over to shoot it right handed but left-eyed. In fact, that's how I shoot handguns 90% of the time, though I do practice some left-handed shooting with them, too. Tougher to do that with a rifle or shotgun. Since your wife comes back to center, she may not really have a dominant eye. Whichever side she shoots from, she may wind up trying to close one eye to get her sight picture. If she does this, pay attention to which eye she's closing and which she's leaving open. Whichever one she's leaving open is the dominant one, even if only slightly. [/QUOTE]
