Default may have to become an south paw shooter

first, I am left eye dominant, just being right handed just out of habit I made my self shoot right handed. so, got use to using my right eye.
link that may come in handy
http://www.eyespecialists.org/eye-dominance-testing.htm

my right shoulder keeps get worst, messed it up working for an major package carrier as an loader. I was shooting the last few days feeling recoil on loads I remember not feeling before. my 22's recoil was hurting.

I can shoot left handed I have done it in the past. how do I get use to everything on my left side when i been grabbing everything from my right side for 14years?

You learn being lefty the same way you did righty. Practice.
Start by sweeping floors left handed, and pretty soon it will feel natural.
It will also help with your eye-hand coordination as you transition to being a southpaw like the rest of us in our right minds.

Corey if you really need to shoot left handed and you really want to learn the proper way then buy one of the stocks in the picture below. Then buy an Encore frame with a couple of barrels. you could sell a few guns and get one I am sure. Also get yourself an MZ barrel for the Encore frame. The stock below will force you to learn to shoot and handle a firearm left handed. Good luck sir.

You can find these stocks used on E-Bay from time to time for a good price. The TH design forces you to shoot it properly. And you can also find alot of good used Encore barrels. Tom.
