        Ok guys I'm convinced that switching to the left is doable and it seems like in shorter time than switching eye.

          I guess I'm lucky...
          I'm left handed and right eye dominant.
          I shoot long guns right handed and handguns left handed. Both are sighted with my right eye.
          I couldn't shoot a long gun left handed to save my life but I'm actually not bad with a handgun right handed, weak hand.
          When I first picked up a gun these just felt natural and I went with it, never really gave it any thought.

          Interestingly...
          I use a longbow or a recurve right handed. Conventional fishing reels I need right handed (right hand drive), spinning reels I need to switch to left hand (right hand drive). I cast both in a left handed manner.

            OP. Just curious how many years have you been shooting rifles? I got switched over a long time ago and it was seamless.

                Just a little over a year. I hope this dog can learn a new trick.

                  Switch on over, you'll be glad you did. When you start shooting trap and skeet you will really appreciate the swap over.

                    I made the switch as well. Right handed, left eye dominant, was always just an average shooter until a friend recognized my problem. Now I shoot long guns lefty, it was an easy switch.

                      I shoot handguns with the right hand and long guns with my left hand. Everybody I shoot with that's former military just wants me to suck it up and shoot long guns right handed. Apparently if I was in the military I'd have to correct this or have it corrected.

                        Great info everybody. Practical and make sense which will be put into practice tomorrow when we go the range. Thank you all.

                          I guess I'm strange. I can change what eye is dominate at will. For example,When driving do people really turn your head to use the left rear view mirror? i just use my left eye. I think most could with practice.
