    Getting away from the wrong hand

    Ever since I was a kid I shot rifles left handed.. Was always comfortable an dominate for me.
    I shoot bows left handed as well. With that said, I'm now 28 years old an have been into AR-15 game for probably a good 10 years now.
    I shoot my ar's left handed... Now here's the problem. since I shoot rifles left handed I go to my secondary right handed, it can make gear set ups quite confusing.. I'm used to it though an feel pretty confidant with my setups.
    That said.. Here's another problem lol. I'm right eye dominate. Since shooting left handed for years with both eyes open I have trained my eyes pretty well.
    I can pretty much dominate with my left eye using red dots.
    My irons though I struggle dominating with my left eye.

    So with that all said, I'm really considering training right handed only , cause it seems it will benefit me more. Then hopefully I can dominate with my right hand?

    I'm open to any advice.

    Thanks

    The rule is you shoot rifle the same side as your dominant eye and your pistol doesn't really matter.
    LAV is left eye dominant so he shoots rifle on the left and pistol on the right.

    Yeah I figured as much .. I need to break a life long habit. My right eye is the dominate one. So right handed it is for rifles.

    After taking a few classes with some squared away dudes, ambi rifle handling has become quite easy for me.
    Just to clarify, you are left handed and right eye dominant?
