He turns 7 this month, and is tall for his age. He appears to be right eye dominant (did the hands at arms length with circle, slowly pull back as you look at an object, etc.), but can't see well through the scope of my Glenfield Model 60, .22 rifle. He seems big enough that the stock isn't too long for him when he snugs it to his shoulder, as he can still get his head several inches from the scope with his cheek on the stock. I think it is just a matter of getting a patch for his left eye because he can't close it while keeping his right eye open.When I cover his left eye, he seems to do ok (he hasn't shot yet, as we live in a residential neighborhood). This confuses me though. I close my lefteye when I shoot because I am left eye dominant, but I thought you didn't have to close your left eye if you were shooting right handed and are right eye dominant.

Does the patch seem like the solution, or do I need to consider something else? I don't want him to get frustrated and not take up hunting. Also, can I get apatch at a local drugstore? I'd rather not have to make one homemade if I can just pick one up.

Any suggestions/advice wouldbegreatly appreciated!
