I'm thinking that will need to get her a left handed shotgun and practice a bunch this summer.

Right handed left eye dominant here. In boot camp they thought they could break it tried every trick but nothing shot lefty and they left me alone after that. I've have had nothing but rifles for righties and have learned to adjust to it have never tried a rifle for lefties wouldn't know what to do

Right here. I'm not much help since I got so used to shooting righty and unloading/loading right it was very weird, awkward and challenging to retrain to lefty so I just switched the rifles back to righty. Just my experiences, even thru military all my weapons were for rightys.

Another reason but not the main, the weapons whether rifle/bow are more expensive and difficult to find sometimes.

Left eye dominate and shoot everything left handed only have a left hand bow everything else is right handed. Call me cheap but manufacturers want an additional $25.00 + for left hand equipment.....

Left eye right handed here. Shoot bows and long guns lefty. But I have to shoot pistols right handed since it is my strong side. Kinda goofy but I make do.

That is what I have as well, right handed and left eye dominent. For shot gunning try a small patch on her glasses over her left eye, it works. That is what Matt and Chuck Drike had me do, for trap and skeet and I do the same for duck/geese. Check out the majic dot system but most shooters just use tape. I still use it for sporting clays, 5000+ rounds this year.

My son is right-handed, left eye dominant.

I have been teaching him to shoot both hands.  Good time to learn now while he has no muscle memory.

Yep I am I shoot a right handed rifle, a break action shotgun, a right ejecting ar because I am very right handed but I shoot everything left eye.  I know of a few more people on here as well its far more common than you would think.

My son is lefty handed, left eye and for a shotgun he found browning with a bottom ejection to be the bomb diddly, otherwise he had very limited lefty selections.

I am not a big shotgun person so havent had the experience of dealing with stuff the size of shot shells ejecting across my visual plane.  Everything semi auto has not bugged me, pistols, ar's etc.

I was born with a dawg doo snow cone in my right eye.  I can't see out the other eye.  So I go through a lot of ammo.  Works for me... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'm the opposite. Right eye dominate shoot left handed.

My son and I are both left eye dominant and right handed.  I didn't even know until I had been shooting for years.  Don't even think about it.  My son must have a stronger case of left eye dominance.  We played with shooting left handed with him for a while before he settled into total right handed right eye shooting.
It's an interesting issue.
