Default RE: eye dominance....major factor in shooting

I'm left eye dominant and can't for the life of me, shoot righty. Put a bow or a rifle in my hands right style and watch out! []

I remember way back in USCG bootcamp qualifying on the M-16. I shot it lefty style. They clipped some kind of shroud on the ejection port for leftys, so we wouldn't get biffed by ejecting shells.

I have a PSE Edge 1000C compound bow in lefty style and I love it. My Remington 870 Express 12GA is also lefty. The only righty thing I have is an old Marlin Mod 60 .22LR, which I love plinking targets and shooting it with my twin daughters (one of them actually outshoots ME! ). I just keep my right elbow down a bit when shooting the semi-auto tube fed .22 - because even though a .22 shell is tiny, it zings out of the ejection port at warp speed and can singe the hair on my right arm!
