>>31317710
I shot a 98% average being right handed left eye dominant my last year of competitive trapshooting. Don't fall for the meme
>>
>>31317710
Shoot south paw. Ain't rocket surgery.
>>
>>31317710
Put a red dot on a rifle and never take the front cap off. Lol
>>
>>31317710
Mount a red dot on top of a carry handle BHD style and then tilt the gun when you shoot.
>>
>not learning how to shoot left handed
You shoot kill yourself, you're clearly retarded.

Shit, everyone who takes shooting even slightly seriously should learn how to shoot ambi.
>>
>>31317733
Every goddamn thread.

>some anon suggests shooting lefty
>i sperg out because just learn to open your other eye you fuck

Im cross eyed dominant, and learned to use my right eye. Fucking simple
>>
>>31317710
Just. Shoot. Left. Handed.

Do we really need this thread 20 times a week?
>>
>>31317788
>learning to shoot left handed when 99.9% of all guns are manufactured for right handed usage

Just open your right eye and learn to shoot with that.
>>
>>31317710
so am i but that doesn't stop me from loving my nugget with the right eye. it's not all that big a deal. train eye for long guns, cross aim for handguns.
>>
>>31317843
>my right arm will always be 100% capable of shooting no matter what.
like i said, if you take it even slightly seriously, then you should know how to shoot with both.

If you're just a guy who shoots a few boxes on the weekend every now and again you don't need to do anything.
>>
>>31317823
Eye dominance comes in different degrees. You're probably more like my sister who is straight up 50/50, anon might be closer to my father who is 100/0.

>>31317843
Buy a lefty model, they make plenty of them.
>>
So is hickok45
>>
>>31317841
This.

Get a goddamn regular "right-handed" AR, and shoot it lefty like people have been doing for decades. Comfy as fuck
>>
I'm right-handed but left eye dominant and own a Nugget.

I can sight the rifle with my right eye, but it's really hard to do unless my left eye is closed. Is there a way to help overcome this, or is shooting with one eye closed fine for a Nugget?
>>
>>31317710
Shoot southpaw, you big baby
>>
>>31317843
I'm a lefty, and I can use almost all right handed guns without issue. I only have problems rapidly firing bolt action rifles, but there's not really a practical purpose for that.

If Big Boss can shoot from his left, so can you, pussy.
>>
>>31318969
This.

Being cross dominant doesn't mean you're suddenly blind in one eye. Doesn't even necessarily mean that you have poor vision in your non-dominant eye. Hell, just squinting your dominant eye just a little is usually enough for your brain to switch to the other eye, so this isn't even a problem outside of competition shooting.
>>
>>31317710
Same, but I taught myself to use my other eye.

lefty if I actually want to hit something, righty if I don't give a fuck

I usually shoot my mosin righty and SKS lefty
>>
>>31317710
Just close your left eye and aim with your right, problem solved.
>>
>learn to shoot left handed
this is far more complicated than just closing your eye and still shooting righty. everyone ITT, including OP, is a fucking retard. being cross-dominant is a comlete non issue.
>t. fellow right hand left eye fgt.
>>
>>31317710
I'm right handed and left eyed, but I still shoot rifles just fine. Just get a decent scope, and you'll be fine.
>>
>>31319410
>this is far more complicated
no, no it really isn't. unless you consider practicing with your other arm "complicated".

But if that's the case, you should worry more about your rascal's battery dying than you should shooting.

Lefty with right eye dominance
Learn to shoot with both hands. It's better than being a dedicated strong side shooter.
I competed in long range shooting matches just fine. Just squint the dominant eye. It's not rocket surgery.
>>
>>31319174
>how can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real
>>
>>31317710
Just tilt your head a bit more.
>>
>>31317710
Me fucking too, but I have the added handicap that my left eye is so nearsighted it's almost unusable.

How much will it cripple my accuracy to shoot with my non-dominant eye? Is it something that will cap how good I can get overall, or will it just take me more practice?
>>
Can't you wear an eye patch for a while and it'll change?
>>
>Legally blind in right eye
>I just shoot left handed

It's really not that hard. Just don't be a little bitch.

You got some first world problems, boy.

>>31317843
Aside from bolt actions there is no problem shooting right handed weapons as a lefty
>>
>>31319110
Amusingly enough, (as a cross-dominant shooter) I actually have a funky prescription where my right eye, uncorrected, would probably be legally blind it is so nearsighted.

Left eye is good though. Weirdest damn thing.
>>
>>31317710
>tfw co dominant
I was born to shoot

Just kidding I actually am not that good. Although after about going to the range a total of like 10-15 times in my life, I get a pretty good grouping with pistols at 10 yards. Can easily get all shots within the head.

When I was a kid I was actually a natural. Lost it a little as I got older, also real guns have recoil.
>>
>>31317710
I had the same problem, but after a few months of practice I was able to either shoot with my left hand, or my right eye.

Just keep at it, it'll be awkward at first, but you should be able to get the hang of it.
>>
>>31319429
This. I can even do pretty decently with irons too.
>>
>>31317710
just close your left eye and open your right eye. holy fuck dude it's not that hard.
>>
>>31317996
>eye dominance comes in different degrees
This is true. However, you can change it with a bit of practice. I used to have it real bad, but i made it get better with practice. Before i was like 85-15, now im more like 55-45
>>
>>31317823
Different anon here, but I am incapable of closing my left eye independent of my right, and I get cross eyed if I try to keep them both open. I shoot long guns lefty though.
>>
>>31321849
>but I am incapable of closing my left eye independent of my right

tape it shut like surgeons do to patients, or use an eye patch
>>
blind as fuck right eye
20/20 left eye reporting in

right handed reporting in

all the rifles i own are right handed. ar's, ak's, bolt actions. i have literally never fired a left handed weapon before, ever.

no problems ever.

i have shot trap competitively, long distance, pistols, carbine run n gun fun stuff, being right handed, left eye dominant has never effected one thing.

ps i all shoot aforementioned righty weapons left handed

am drunk sorry

What guns explicitly can't be shot left handed? Bolt guns from standing is the only thing that might be difficult, and even then it's hardly a hassle unless you're going for really quick followup shots.
>>
>>31320898
should feel lucky man, i'm a lefty and learned my lesson about eye pro the hard way. 7 years down the road i've got traumatic glaucoma and i'm starting to notice the vision in my left eye getting iffy. luckily like a not pleb i already can shoot ambi.
