    Thanks for the tips guys when I go shoot I'm going to try blurring my left eye and see if I can focus on the target. Might be awhile though need to find a safe place to shoot, only public range nearby has a bad reputation, I've heard too many stories of people firing while others are changing targets.

    When you are first learning to shoot (especially a rifle with as easy a manual of arms as the AR-15), you can go either way on handedness. Think about it. . . if you've never picked up a rifle, it's going to feel "weird" whether you do it right or left handed. Your eye dominance is locked in, there's no changing it unless you're going to wear an eye patch every waking hour of the day.

    If being able to shoot ambidexterously is important to you, then it can't hurt to start training that way, but if you're only concerned with shooting off your strong side, you might as well follow your eye dominance.

    Thanks, holding the rifle is more comfortable in my right hand, when aiming down the irons I can see what I'm looking at through the sights but I can also see the front sight offset from my left eye "pushing" my vision.
