Do you shoot with your non dominant eye?

I am left eye dominate, but shoot right handed. I hit a golf club right handed but swing a bat left handed and I write right handed, so I am also one of those people all out of whack.lol

i can't shoot with my non dominant eye, every time a tried to shoot the left handed bow i missed, it was just to awkard to shoot off handed like that, so i'll stick to closing my left eye and shooting rightly

I am left eye dominant and right handed. I shot right handed for 15 years. I shot pretty well too. I made the switch last year when I wanted to get more serious about 3D shooting. It has made a difference, period. I know there are guys out there that are left eye dominant and shoot right handed very well. (Matt/PA) But for me, left handed is more natural. To clarify, I have always shot guns left handed.

I am right eye dominant but shoot left handed. I shot right handed for most of my life then developed target panic. I switched to left handed to help cure the problem. It sucks for the most part but has helped my shooting.

Left eye dominant and right handed here. Like Ben, I made the switch. I feel I'm shooting better, although the more I analyze it, I know a lot has to be attributed to the re-learning of proper form without the inclusion of bad habits. However, the ability to shoot with both eyes open has made it a positive switch for me as well.

Left-eye dominant, shoot right-handed. I just close my left eye... no problems.
Qualified expert with every weapon they put in my hands in the military... never missed during qualis with the M-16 out to 300 meters, 50 out of 50 with the .45, and I did miss once with the Beretta 9 mm (49 out of 50) -- have no idea what happened there.
used to routinely shoot dragonflies and swallows out of the air with my bb gun when I was little...
Ask the guys who've shot a few 3d rounds with me; I'd think they'd tell you it works out ok for me in archery, too.

im left eye dominant and right handed,i threw a baseball with both hands (ya i know-cool right?), batted both ways, write right handed, eat with left hand, and i can ONLY cast the rod right handed, and i can ONLY reel left handed-idk whats up with me... BUT
-i shoot my bow righty, just close left eye-no big deal
-trap shooting, rabbit hunting etc is not a challenge either cuz i squint old lefty alot and that lets me keep full range of vision while only aiming with the right...i do the same with gun hunting for deer and stuff too, i could never move comfortably with moving shots left handed
