Default Eye dominance madness

I didn't know how to title this post, but I think madness makes sense. Why? because I find myself cross-dominant no matter if I hold my rifle with my right arm or left.

So I am right handed, and have always been shooting with my right eye. I was trying to fire my .22 LR with iron sights with both eyes open, and found it a pain when trying to follow a moving target, as my left eye would dominate. I did both triangle test and point with finger test and found out I was left eye dominant. So I tried firing my rifle with my non dominant arm, and found out the same exact problem, but in this case my right eye was dominant!!!. Did the point with finger test, this time using my left arm, and found out, I was right eye dominant.

Long story short.... I am left eye dominant when holding rifle with my right arm , right eye dominant with my left arm; eye dominance madness. It is so relative, that as I follow a target with my rifle my eye dominance changes as well, messing up the whole thing if I have both eyes open.

I want to improve my shooting, but what can I do?. do you know anyone with this issue?

Thanks!
